[Satellite Today 12-01-08] AAE Systems, a satellite-based equipment manufacturer and turnkey communication solutions provider, has been awarded an expansion of an already-existing government contract to add terminals to a banking network in Iraq, the company announced Dec. 2.
    The Iraqi bank’s turnkey communications network was originally designed and built by AAE in 2007, connecting its branches across the country. 
    In the previous contract, AAE provided services for systems engineering and customer support and will utilize these services in the new contract.
