HERNDON, Va., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A U.S. subsidiary of Britain's Inmarsat PLC has won a multimillion-dollar task order from NATO for communications support for troops in Afghanistan.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award to Segovia, Inc. is for four years if all options are exercised. The dollar value of the contract and more detailed contract information weren't disclosed.

"We are honored to have our dedicated technical experts supporting NATO and ISAF," said John Richardson, vice president of Segovia's Technical Services division. "We remain committed to adapting to -- and meeting -- our customers' evolving requirements and we believe that our open, service-oriented architecture and well-trained staff will lead the way to future opportunities."

Segovia's Technical Services Division is a new company unit that provides full-time consultants specializing in LAN/WAN management, functional services, training, systems administration, repair/exchange, configuration management and other key services.

Segovia said it also received the first task order under the IDIQ -- a multimillion-dollar contract to deploy full-time communication and information services support to NATO in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
