), a global provider of end-to-end satellite-based communications solutions, today announced that it has been awarded a $8.1 million contract from the National Air Navigation Services Company in Egypt ("NANSC"). E[acute accent]Under the terms of the contract, Globecomm will design and install a next generation satellite-based network connecting nineteen remote NANSC sites in Egypt to the Cairo Air Navigation Center ("CANC CANC Cancelled

"), which is the central hub of the network. The contract work is scheduled to begin immediately. E[acute accent]The new network allows NANSC to conform to the International Civil Aviation Organization International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), specialized agency of the United Nations, organized in 1947, with headquarters at Montreal. The objective of the ICAO, which has 187 member nations, is to encourage the orderly growth of international civil aviation,  ("ICAO ICAO

") standards-based program. ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose mandate is to ensure the safe, efficient and orderly evolution of international civil aviation. The network will provide a robust connection between the sites allowing for the transfer of voice, data and video at high data rates, enhancing the efficiency of NANSC's aviation operations. The primary use of the network will be to transfer the packet-based data converted from the underlying systems at each location to the CANC. E[acute accent]David Hershberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Globecomm said, "With this contract award, Globecomm is now qualified on an ICAO standards-based program. Internet Protocol as a common standard allows airports to consolidate radar information from the application layer and move large amounts of data at fast speeds to a central hub, or amongst other airports in the network, and conform them to the ICAO standards-based program. Internet Protocol-based networks carry voice, data and video. When coupled with the ICAO standards-based mandate, it provides a compelling reason for airports to modernize their networks. As more airports come on-line, Globecomm is positioned to capitalize on the trend. The contract was won teaming with Adcom, a local company, who was awarded a separate contract for the civil works and was instrumental in Globecomm's winning this award." E[acute accent]Mr. Ahmed Said, Chairman of NANSC commented, "The modernization of the nations air traffic control facilities is of great importance and we are confident in GSI's demonstrated ability and that their offered solution will meet our requirements."
