SkyPort Global Communications is pleased to announce it has signed a contract to provide emergency satellite communications solutions to the District of Columbia National Guard.

As part of the agreement, SkyPort engineers have installed satellite communications hardware and dishes at a number of National Guard facilities in Washington, DC, to connect Guard members to the world-wide communications network in the event of an emergency or loss of land-based network access.

The terminals can be used to send and receive voice, video and data communications.

"SkyPort has a strong tradition of providing emergency service to National Guard units throughout the United States and we are proud to now be serving the unit in our nation's capital," said Michael Polmar, vice president of sales for SkyPort.

"Often during emergencies the terrestrial network is unavailable. By providing a satellite-centric solution, we are securing the DC National Guard's ability to access the nation's communications network."

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, SkyPort won the prestigious Minuteman Award from the National Guard for providing a high-level of satellite communications support to units responding to the disaster throughout the Southeast.
