The Norwegian Defence Material Agency has awarded a contract to Indra to implement the satellite communication ground segment that is critical to the management of the Norwegian Armed Forces military operations. The company will be responsible for implementing the X- and Ka-band nodes that will act as a gateway between user terminals at various locations via the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite constellation, one of the most advanced of its kind and with greater capacity for high-speed data exchanges.
Indra will install certified anchor terminals, which will provide satellite communication services through a constellation used by some of the world’s most advanced armies. This project will enhance Indra’s position at the forefront of satellite communications, a technology field of increasing importance as theaters of operations are digitized and agile data exchanges becomes key.
