(TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today announced that TCS' In-Building Wireless (IBW) program has received more than $12 million in orders over the past 12 months, including a new $2.9 million order from a major U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) medical campus. This order is part of an overall project for which TCS is to design and install a highly reliable and secure distributed antenna system covering 15 buildings on the medical campus.

For each IBW customer, TCS performs a detailed system design that considers the existing technologies in the space where communications coverage is needed and analyzes the radio frequency environment. TCS has successfully implemented "five-bars" enhanced reception solutions for military medical campuses throughout the National Capital region enabling critical, life-saving support to active military personnel and veterans.
"Hospitals, government offices and commercial buildings need reliable, secure, 'carrier-agnostic' coverage for every part of their buildings," said Mike Bristol, senior vice president and general manager, Government Solutions Group for TCS. "Our customers recognize that TCS In-Building Wireless solutions provide their employees, guests and customers with vital coverage for mobile devices, including mobile telephones, laptop and tablet computers and two-way radios, and that's why we have been able to reach this important $12 million-plus mark in orders received."
