Hughes won a General Services Administration task order to provide commercial satellite communications end-to-end solutions in support of the Government Education and Training Network (GETN). The service will enable GETN’s distance learning capabilities, Hughes said in a news release Monday (http://bit.ly/1luSMQI). The task order is for a 4 1/2-year term, it said. GETN is made of eight federal agencies, including judiciary agencies, sharing satellite technology, facilities and distance learning programs, Hughes said. The company, which is owned by EchoStar, said it also will provide project management, maintenance and operational support and satellite capacity.
