Phoenix, MD, November 7th, 2012 - ALTIUS Communications, an international information technology company, has received a $1.5 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to deliver service upgrades and FIPS-140-2 Encryption to field tactical radio systems for the U.S. Department of the Navy.

The five-year contract, awarded by the Naval Surface Warfare Systems Center Crane Division, enables the Navy to acquire conversion kits, FIPS-140-2 encryption and bandwidth upgrades to existing microwave radios systems. The contract covers radios manufactured by Cambium Networks, (formally Motorola)

"ALTIUS is one of the leading global providers of tactical communications to the Department of Defense around the world, with one of the broadest portfolio of solutions," said Jim Connor, CEO of ALTIUS. "This contract enables the Navy to deploy outdated and under-utilized microwave radio systems by having ALTIUS re-vamp and upgrade their existing inventory".

The contract is part of the US Marine Core G-BOSS program. The G-BOSS program is an integration of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government-Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) sensors, integrated to provide a "beyond the fence" surveillance capability for military operations.
