PAR Technology Corporation’s (NYSE:PAR) wholly-owned subsidiary Rome Research Corporation has been awarded a five-year contract with the US Navy in Italy, worth US$13.6mln.
The group will provide teleport commercial satellite terminal services at the Global Information Grid (GIG) facility in Lago Patria in Italy’s Campania region as well as other remote locations.
The GIG is a global information network used by the military to support the Department of Defense in times of both war and peace.
It provides capabilities to operating locations including bases, posts, camps, mobile platforms and deployed sites. It also provides interfaces to coalition, allied and civilian users and systems.
“Our employees are passionate about what they do to support the warfighter and we are honored that the Navy continues to entrust RRC with this mission-critical contract,” said President of PAR’s government business arm Matthew Cicchinelli.
“The company’s expertise and knowledge in operating teleport systems at this and other locations were important factors in the award decision.”
