iDirect
Government has received Wideband Global SATCOM
(WGS) certification for the company’s 9-Series Defense
portfolio of satellite routers and line cards operating
on Evolution 3.4 software.
The new Army
certification (18-004), along with certification 18-001,
confirms that all Evolution 3.4 hardware and software
will operate on the WGS constellation with no
performance certification restrictions, enabling
enhanced military communications. The certification
includes the 900 Satellite Router board, 9350 Satellite
Router, the 950mp, 9050 OM, Tactical Hub and DLC-T and
DLC-R line cards.
The 9-Series
Defense products underwent stringent evaluation and
testing as part of the Army’s certification process. The
WGS certification ensures that iDirectGov’s 9-Series
Defense products work effectively with WGS to support
military missions.
“The new WGS
certification validates our 9-Series Defense line and
Evolution 3.4 as the ‘go to’ communications solutions
for military communications requirements worldwide, and
we are committed to play a part in keeping the military
connected as they defend our nation,” said John Ratigan,
president of iDirect Government. “The WGS certification
confirms what our customers know—that we are dedicated
to delivering high-quality military satellite
communications solutions to ensure that those deployed
in the field have critical clear lines of communication
needed for mission success and system reliability. This
newest certification highlights the effort of our
engineers who have worked to bring the latest technology
to the market, earning this recognition.”
The new WGS
certification builds upon iDirectGov’s existing
high-quality certifications that include TL 9000 and ISO
9001:2008 quality certifications. These recognitions
validate its demonstrated ability to provide the highest
quality levels of design, development, production,
delivery, installation, and maintenance of information
and communications technology products including
hardware, software and services.
The WGS supports
the Department of Defense by providing military SATCOM
worldwide at no additional cost to the services. It
provides beyond-line-of-sight reach-back and in-theater
communications capabilities to the military’s operations
worldwide.
