Harris to Supply Satellite Communications Terminals to Canadian Navy

Harris has been awarded the Canadian short term satellite communications upgrade (STSCU) contract for shipboard satellite communications terminals.

Under the contract, the company will deliver terminals that offer X and Ku-band capabilities and increased bandwidth onboard Canadian Navy ships.

The increased bandwidth will provide enhanced connectivity to the internet, video and other high-speed, broadband services while also supporting strategic military communications.

The terminals will reduce expensive dial-up lease costs while equipping the Canadian Navy with affordable, global access to a variety of military and commercial satellite networks.

The contract represents the company's first international sale of maritime wideband terminals.
