MTI Wins U.S. Coast Guard Contract

For 30 Inmarsat Satcoms

Mobile Telesystems Inc. (MTI) has won a U.S. Coast Guard tender for 30 Inmarsat satcoms, to be installed on ocean-going patrolling vessels such as this.

The U.S. Coast Guard's recent tender for 30

Inmarsat satcoms has been awarded to Mobile

Telesystems Inc. (MTI) of Gaithersburg, Md.

The MCS-9120 Inmarsat-A systems were de- livered and installed in late 1993 on ocean going vessels patrolling both U.S. and international waters. The systems provide voice, fax and data communications regardless of vessel location and augment existing HF and VHF systems. Also included in the tender is an option to upgrade the

MCS-9120's for High Speed Data.

MTI's MCS-9120 has gained Inmarsat type approval for duplex high speed data transmis- sions. This optional package will allow users to communicate at speeds up to 56/64 kbps, facili- tating large batch file data dumps, video trans- missions, and high-quality audio feeds from ship- to-shore or shore-to-ship.
