satellite airforceSignal Mountain Networks and its subcontractor Hughes Network Systems have completed the deployment of a satellite communications network at 80 locations under a potential four-year, $1 million contract with the U.S. Geological Survey.

The satcom network is meant for data collection efforts in the U.S. and Caribbean in support of the USGS Global Seismographic Network’s Advanced National Seismic System, Hughes said Monday.

The agency’s ANSS works to provide seismic event-related information through the use of monitoring systems and methods.

The satcom network consists of two network operations centers, a multi-satellite system and a private network that has a Federal Information Processing Standard certification.

USGS has exercised the first of the three one-year options of the contract, which the agency awarded in 2014.
