DynCorp International, one of the world's largest defense and security services companies, required reliable satellite communications for its security contractor operations in Akwa Ibom State. IPXAFRICA designed and deployed a full VSAT solution providing mission-critical connectivity to multiple security sites in and around Uyo.

The system used Trango Atlas 5 GHz radios with high-gain parabolic antennas for a reliable point-to-point microwave connection.
