LEESBURG, Va., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MTN Government Services (MTNGS), a subsidiary of MTN Satellite Communications (MTN), the global provider of communications, connectivity, and content services to remote locations around the world, today announced it has secured the very first competitive task order for Subscription Services on the Future Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Services Acquisition (FCSA) contract.  MTNGS will provide managed network services to deliver constant monitoring and management of iDirect hub equipment and various VSAT remotes with 24x7 Secure NOC Support.  The MTNGS SOC gives immediate response to option file generation, remote commissioning support, weekly status log and commissioning reports to include bandwidth usage reporting.
