 SkyPort Global Communications and Applied Global Technologies (AGT) have been selected by the Florida National Guard to provide satellite communications services and solutions in emergencies. AGT and SkyPort will be providing the Florida National Guard with teleport services, bandwidth, hardware, MPLS backhaul to the Florida National Guard's network and iDirect Hub services for the provision of voice, video, data and Internet.

These services provide robust connectivity for both uniformed soldiers as well as any other first responders requiring connectivity in Areas of Operation.

The Florida National Guard's cutting-edge efforts in disaster recovery and emergency response will be significantly augmented by the addition of these services to their disaster preparedness strategies.

"SkyPort is pleased to be working with AGT on this important contract," said Michael Polmar, Vice President of Sales for SkyPort. "Terrestrial lines often are down or overloaded during a disaster. By providing satellite communications, SkyPort is helping the Guard stay connected so it can manage first responders' efforts and ultimately save lives"

Matthew Rinehart, AGT's Director of Federal Research and Development said, "SkyPort and AGT have a solid reputation of delivering proven, state-of-the-art solutions to the National Guard and others. We have chosen SkyPort because their dedication to customer service and support is inline with AGT's commitment to our customers. We look forward to providing these enhanced services to Florida and our other state and federal customers going forward."
