San Diego - May 21, 1998 - The Titan Corporation today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Linkabit Wireless, Inc., has received a $13.8 million order for Mini-DAMA UHF satellite communications terminals. While the entire order was placed by the Navy's San Diego-based Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Command, a significant percentage of the terminals will be provided to the naval forces of U.S. Allies around the world. Gene W. Ray, Titan President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased to know that this order for Mini-DAMA terminals will not only provide critical, worldwide communications for U.S. naval forces, but that it will have the direct effect of ensuring that same level of communications interoperability between U.S. forces and our allies in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and Australia. We anticipate that other nations will follow suit in the near-term. Furthermore," added Ray, "this order further solidifies the backlog of Linkabit Wireless, our communications systems subsidiary." The Titan Corporation, headquartered in San Diego, California, provides state-of-the-art information technology and electronic systems and services for commercial and government clients.

Greenwich - May 21, 1998 - "PanAmSat has initiated a comprehensive contingency plan to provide continuous service for our Galaxy IV satellite customers. We have advised our customers to implement their restoration plans whenever possible. In addition, we are providing restoration services on several of our satellites. Galaxy VI, a C-band satellite located at 74 degrees West Longitude, will be moved over the next six days to 99 degrees West Longitude, the current orbital location of the Galaxy IV satellite. Ku-band customers on Galaxy IV have been offered capacity on the nearby Galaxy III-R satellite, and several customers have already successfully started migrating to this satellite. We should see the return of many Ku-band services as the day progresses. |
