Boston - Oct 14, 2003
Atlanta-based ILC said Monday that its MaxView network control software has been selected by ITT Industries, Systems Division, Colorado Springs, Colo., to manage SATCOM assets in the U.S. Navy's satellite communications network.

At six major teleports around the world, MaxView will automate the monitoring, control and provisioning of the satellite link over which deployed Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps troops access the U.S. Defense Information System Network (DISN).

Via satellite, U.S. troops access DISN services to transmit and receive critical military information, including reconnaissance video, surveillance photos, intelligence, and orders. The DoD Teleport Program aims to provide deployed warfighters with multiband, multimedia and worldwide DISN reach-back capabilities that far exceed the communications capabilities of today's warfighter.

MaxView plays an integral role in meeting the goals of the DoD Teleport Program. As the program's Teleport Management and Control Segment (TMCS), MaxView will provide automation at the worldwide teleport sites to allow for resource configuration and reconfiguration, system controller interfaces, nodal management and control for each Teleport component, and remote access to DISN and SATCOM management and control centers.

After an extensive formal evaluation, SPAWAR awarded the TMCS project to systems integrator ITT Industries, Systems Division, who chose ILC's MaxView as the M&C software that would best adapt to the wide range of equipment and associated services of the teleport system.

"For example, when the crew on an aircraft carrier requires video, data, and voice links to transmit and receive information with its command base," explains ILC's CEO Richard Graham, "Operators will use MaxView's circuit provisioning tool to dynamically reconfigure teleport equipment quickly and error-free."

"MaxView is a proven COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) solution that makes it simple for us to integrate the system into the Navy's secure facilities," said an ITT spokesperson. Systems integrator ITT Industries, Systems Division will implement MaxView at all six sites by April 2004.
