Crawford Awarded Sub-Contract For U.S. DOD Project

June 24, 2008


Crawford Satellite Services, a service area of Crawford Communications, Inc. and one of the largest broadcast facilities in the Southeast, has been awarded a multi-year sub-contract that offers full-time satellite space segment to Arrowhead Global Solutions. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapRock Communications, Arrowhead focuses on delivering end-to-end managed communications solutions to federal government customers around the world. With Crawford as its sub-contractor, Arrowhead was selected by DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) to support U.S. DoD (Department of Defense) efforts. Through this agreement, the U.S. Army secured 39 MHz (megahertz) of satellite capacity for its DVIDS (Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System) project, a 24/7 operation that provides a reliable connection between the media and the military.  

“We’re excited about teaming with Arrowhead to provide satellite capacity to the DoD through DISA,” says Vince Matherne, vice president of sales and marketing for Crawford. “Arrowhead’s position as a leader in offering integrated satellite solutions to the government, coupled with our ongoing distribution hub services for DVIDS, completes a truly world-class turnkey package for the DoD.”  

“This space segment agreement with Crawford is a prime example of how Arrowhead continues to enhance its capabilities to meet the changing needs of our government clients,” says Arrowhead President Tom Eaton. “This new relationship will enable us to provide cutting-edge technology and superior service to DISA.”
