TSi was awarded a contract by the Algerian Aviation Civil Defense
Force in January 1995 for the installation of a Local User
Terminal in Ouargla and a Mission Control Center in Algiers. The
system was installed in June 1995 and the commissioning reports
were submitted to the COSPAS-SARSAT Joint Committee.
In December 2003 TSi was awarded a contract to upgrade all
elements of the Algerian SARSAT system. A new LEOLUT and MCC will
be installed in Algiers, and a new GEOLUT for the European
MeteoSAT Second Generation Satellite will be added to the system.
The system is scheduled for installation in the first quarter of
2004.
