Mollegen Jr., chairman and CEO recently an- nounced. The company's total con- tractual backlog stood at approxi- mately $276 million at the end of June, compared with $279.7 million on June 30, 1990. A $ 15.1 million, five-year contract was awarded by the Naval Under- water Systems Center (NUSC), New- port, R.I., for A&T to continue pro- viding technical evaluation support for submarine weapon systems. Cellnet Provides Cellular Pay Phone Service To Marine Industry Cellnet Corporation, a leading provider of cellular credit card tele- phone service, has recently begun providing its CallAboard® cellular payphone service on a national ba- sis to the marine industry. The com- pany, based in Stamford, Conn., has been providing service throughout the country for the past three years to the transportation industry, pri- marily in limousines, buses and trains. The company has also pro- vided service to ferries and dining yachts. CallAboard service allows callers to dial anywhere in the world, and calls are billed directly to the user's credit card. The marine vessel op- erator or oil rig operator need not be concerned about overseeing use of a company-owned cellular phone, which often proves to be both a fi- nancial and administrative head- ache. In addition, this service pre- vents monopolization of the onboard radio communication system by call- ers. CallAboard allows anyone onboard to stay in touch with the outside world at no cost to vessel operators. Aside from the obvious benefits of CallAboard, marine operators will be pleased by Cellnet's unique abil- ity to provide service with very little notice. The company recently pro- vided two phones for the McDermott Marine Construction and Gates Con- struction natural gas pipeline project in the Long Island Sound. After McDermott's initial call to Cellnet, arrangements were made promptly and phones were placed on McDermott's Lay Barge 29 within less than a week. Upon completion of the project, with two days notice the phones were removed. Cellnet has the capability to ser- vice most marine operators and the company is flexible about respond- ing to unusual applications.

The solar modules (genera- tors) are designed to last 20 years and will be used to power naviga- tional buoys. Many powered navigational buoys are in remote areas and are difficult to service. Records show that the use of solar power provides cost savings and is operationally ef- ficient. The U.S. Coast Guard cur- rently has over 14,000 solar-pow- ered navigational aids in operation. The solar modules' photovoltaic cells transfer sunlight into electri- cal energy which is stored in a bat- tery. The energy is used to light the buoys at night or send out electronic signals to passing ships. This is the fifth consecutive award out of a possible six that Siemens Solar has received since 1986 from the USCG. Under these contracts, the company has delivered 17,000 solar modules, equivalent to 325 kilo- watts. Headquartered in Camarillo, Calif., Siemens Solar Industries is part of Siemens AG, a multinational corporation.
