ITT Selects
DataPath's MaxView Network Management System For U.S. Army Ka-STARS
Program
(22 April 2008) DataPath, Inc., a
leading provider of satellite and wireless communications networks around the
world, has been selected by ITT Corporation to provide the MaxView Network
Management System for managing and automating the nine-meter AN/GSC-70(V)1 Ka
Band Satellite Transmit and Receive Systems (Ka-STARS) under contract to the
U.S. Army Program Manager, Defense Communications and Army Transmission Systems
(PM-DCATS).
"With ITT's fielding of the AN/GSC-70 earth
terminals, MaxView software enhances its reputation as the industry standard
for managing critical, complex government communications systems," said Dr.
Clay Stanek, vice president and general manager of DataPath's MaxView Software
Solutions division. "Deployed for DISA teleports, the U.S. Army's DKET program
and Joint Network Node/WIN?T program, the U.S. Marine Corps' SWAN program and
other critical networks, MaxView is a proven, adaptable solution for maximising
network control."
The AN/GSC-70(V)1 will operate over the Wideband
Global Satellite system to provide high-bandwidth communication capability in
support of military operations world-wide. The system supplements limited
military X band capacity with Ka band capacity.
The MaxView Network
Management System is a powerful solution used by more than 150 government and
military organisations, leading broadcasters, satellite network operators and
media carriers around the world. MaxView easily adapts to evolving networks,
functioning as either the network "operating environment," the network
manager-of-managers, or an element control and automation system. Designed by
network engineers for network engineers, its intuitive Service Creation
Framework enables MaxView to be operated without any software development
experience.
