ANNAPOLIS, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/30/07 -- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a global leader in mission-critical wireless communications, today announced the award of a $2.3 million contract to provide satellite hardware to the Program Management Defense Communications and Army Transmission System (PM DCATS) team at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. This is the fifth award TCS has received under the World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle. Revenues are expected to be realized during Q2 and Q3 of 2007, due to the 97-day period of performance requirement.

PM DCATS provides centralized, intensive project management of communications transmission systems projects and other special programs, worldwide. The programs provide the critical bandwidth required for the Global Information Grid and support the Department of Defense (DoD) transformation by developing and fielding communications systems capable of overcoming existing -- and projected -- bandwidth constraints.

"PM DCATS continues to demonstrate its confidence in TCS' satellite communications knowledge and ability to satisfy mission-critical communications requirements as TCS is a prime contractor in this program," said Michael Bristol, Senior Vice President, Network Solutions for TCS. "The WWSS contract allows TCS the opportunity to apply the experience gained by deploying our mobile communications solutions to enhance and sustain associated fixed infrastructure. TCS contributes to the warfighter's success by strengthening both ends of the communications equation, from tactical to strategic assets."

Federal customers rely on TCS for secure uplink and SATCOM service consistent with a proven high degree of availability. TCS' SATCOM services are widely deployed worldwide by government agencies with high reliability and are supported with TCS' best-in-class customer service.
