Vocality Renews Paradigm Contract

August 1, 2008

Vocality announced that Paradigm, the UK MoD's exclusive beyond-line-ofsight satcoms service provider, has renewed and expanded the Framework Agreement with Vocality for the supply of routers and multiplexers within their networks. Paradigm operate both tactical and welfare communications for the British Armed Forces as well as other third party customers.

Our joint plans for 2009 include the migration from legacy systems in Paradigm to Vocality, as well as the expansion under the Framework Agreement to encompass other members of the Astrium Services group.

Lucinda Williams, the Commercial Operations Manager for Paradigm said “Paradigm is extremely pleased that Vocality International are the first of our key suppliers to sign an extension to the Framework Agreement. This iteration of the Agreement expands Vocality’s customer base to all Astrium Services entities, enabling Vocality to provide services to a large range of customers.”

Nick Kendall, Pan Engineering Manager for Paradigm said “The current product range offered to Paradigm by Vocality International provides for technical flexibility combined with consistent and dynamic services to the benefit of our end users.”

Vocality CEO, Julian Bashford comments "In a year when Vocality is driving major expansion into the US defence market as well as other countries, it is heartening to know that the British armed forces are committed to using Vocality for their ongoing and expanding overseas operations and infrastructure. Paradigm and Vocality have established a strong working relationship which is improving year on year, and we thank them for their ongoing commitment and support."
