CapRock Government Solutions has reportedly signed a multi-year, multi-transponder strategic purchase agreement with Paradigm Secure Communications.

 

UK-based Paradigm owns and operates a fleet of military hardened geosynchronous communications satellites with both X-band and UHF payloads.

 

By accessing Paradigm's hardened and protected X-band capacity, CapRock will be able to offer a wider variety of X-band services customized according to each unique government requirement.

 

CapRock signed a similar multi-year, multi-transponder purchase contract with another commercial X-band provider just last year. That project was very successful, and included the deployment of over 200MHz of bandwidth and multiple protected networks for the U.S. Government.

 

Officials with CapRock claim the company is now the single largest network provider of commercial X-band services to the U.S. Government.

 

According to Keith Norton, managing director at Paradigm, the company is continuously looking for partners that understand the unique challenges of government missions and can deliver trusted end-to-end solutions as well as add their own value to our X-band capacity.

 

"CapRock has a proven reputation as a premier provider of managed satellite network solutions operating in some of the world's toughest environments. We are very pleased to add CapRock to our family of distributors and to have them as our first Network Service Provider to the U.S. military and Intelligence communities," Norton said.
