CapRock Government Solutions has won a contract with the US Navy’s Naval Beach Group (NBG) for emergency satellite communications services as part of U.S. military relief efforts in Haiti. Services will run on CapRock’s new commercial communications suite, CommandAccess, at a significantly reduced rate.
CapRock will work with fixed satellite services operator Telesat to provide the dedicated Ku-band CommandAccess in support of the Navy’s relief and aid projects in Haiti. CapRock’s new subscription service will provide critical communications to the NBG, which supplies Navy personnel and equipment for amphibious operations including evacuations and the delivery of food and medical supplies after natural disasters.
