Hughes has been awarded a Department of Defense contract to improve satellite communications.
Under the Wideband Communications Architecture Study contract, for which the value was not specified, Hughes “will investigate a wide-ranging commercial perspective on how different satellite transports can interoperate for wideband government applications,” according to a company news release.
“Hughes is proposing to leverage a Multi-Modem Adaptor to enable multiple service providers to contribute towards a resilient SATCOM service that will also automate provisioning and improve network operational efficiency,” the company said.
