International Datacasting Corporation (“IDC”) has received a new contract and development agreement from a leading SATCOM prime contractor to upgrade and modernize the management and control software used in a longstanding U.S. government communications platform.
This platform, deployed by multiple agencies for mission-critical applications, relies on Novra receivers to provide highly reliable and secure satellite connectivity. The management and control software was originally developed for Novra’s proven workhorse, the S300 satellite receiver, which remains a trusted and widely deployed solution and is now being evolved and expanded to also support the powerful, next-generation, S401 receiver.
In addition to this development contract, valued at more than $275,000, Novra also anticipates additional orders for its S401 receivers over the next several years as various government programs continue upgrading their networks with more powerful and even more reliable technology.
Rodney Allan, President of Novra Group, said, “We have a long history of supporting our customers with migration paths that extend product lifecycles and protect technology investments. This project is an excellent example of our commitment to delivering continuity and value, especially as technology requirements inevitably evolve.”
