SWE-DISH announces 70 MSEK order from FMV-Sweden

SWE-DISH Satellite Systems AB, headquartered in Solna-Stockholm, Sweden, has been awarded a close to 70 MSEK order for a complete satellite communications system from FMV – Defence Materiel Administration – the procurement authority of the Swedish Department of Defence.

The system is specified as a backbone of the internal communications within the Nordic Battle Group forces, a unit that will be operational under European Union command as of January 2008.

The system contains mobile Suitcase 0,9 meter, and Fly-Away 1,5 meter antenna systems for broadband connectivity and a network solution for up to 40 nodes based on iDirect technology. There is a considerable amount of training and support included in the deliveries. Delivery of the system will start immediately and end before the end of 2007.

“The order is very important for SWE-DISH since FMV is valued on the international market as a highly professional military procurement authority. We will now have an excellent reference when presenting our world class satellite systems to the international governmental markets” says Åke Jönsson, Vice President Sales.

“The choice of the FMV of our satellite systems for the Nordic Battle Group confirms the fact that the military organizations of the world are relying more and more on satellite communications equipment as part of their modern net-centric warfare strategy. We are convinced that this is only the beginning of a multitude of governmental defence organizations that will invest in our solutions, and I would like to extend our greatest appreciation to the FMV for choosing SWE-DISH in this procurement” says Lars Jehrlander, CEO, SWE-DISH Satellite Systems AB.
