DataStream Content Solutions provides advanced content management systems to information businesses, publishers and governments to help them work at their maximum efficiency. DataStream builds databases for data conversion, editorial enhancements, XML mark-up, data storage, data revival, data delivery and complete data management. DSCS is the home of the revolutionary Legislative Impact® and Regulatory Impact® products and is a leader in the intelligent mark-up of data.

DataStream hired 16 additional employees, gained $2.5 million in revenue and attracted $2 million in grants thanks to the company’s MIPS project. In November, 2010, DSCS was acquired by The Dolan Company (NYSE:DM).

DSCS is a graduate of the Technology Advancement Program (TAP) incbuator.

We were a loose, unstructured startup. Through the MIPS process we were able to mature to a very wellorganized and well-run, mid-sized company, were able to secure large government contracts and contracts with major data publishers and aggregators, and position ourselves for a sale to a large media company.

Laser Technology

Matrics Technology Systems, now part of Motorola, was a Columbia, Md.-basedcompany providing EPC-compliant RFID systems for retail, defense, transportation and other vertical markets. The Matrics product portfolio featured RFID systems. including: multi-protocol, EPC-compliant fixed readers; readers designed for embedded applications, such as RFID printers and handhelds; high-performance antennas for RFID tag reading; and EPC labels that can be attached to items such as containers, pallets, cartons and more. The company’s RFID tag family included both read-only and read/write functionality that addressed a wide range of asset visibility applications.

Matrics’ RFID readers and tags were used by customers to help track inventory across the supply chain, ensure compliance in regulated industries, track the location of baggage throughout airports for security purposes, and facilitate a more effective logistics process within the defense sector.

The acquisition of Matrics is a significant step in executing our plan to be a leader in RFID, and expands our offerings in the advanced data capture industry.
In 2004, Matrics was acquired by Symbol Technologies Inc. for $230M. Symbol is now a subsidiary of Motorola, a company whose RFID business, which started with Matrics, continues to be based in Maryland.

Hughes Network Systems LLC (HUGHES) is a global leader in broadband satellite technology and services for home and office. Its flagship high-speed satellite Internet service is HughesNet®, the world’s largest satellite network, with over 1 million residential and business customers across North America and Brazil.

For large enterprises and governments, the company’s HughesON® managed network services provide complete connectivity solutions, employing an optimized mix of satellite and terrestrial technologies. The company’s JUPITER™ System is the world’s most widely deployed High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) platform, operating on more than 20 satellites by leading service providers, delivering a wide range of broadband enterprise, mobility and cellular backhaul applications.

To date, Hughes has shipped more than 5.5 million terminals to customers in over 100 countries, representing an approximately 50 percent market share, and its technology is powering broadband services to aircraft around the world.

With annual revenues of over $1 billion, Hughes’ headquarters are in Germantown, Md., although the company has offices in 11 countries and customers in over 100 countries.

Over time, we’ve probably generated within the state of Maryland, a large share of our revenue—$1.5 billion a year, with a total of close to $15 billion. About $5 billion of that can be directly credited to the work done through MIPS. We employ 1,500 people here in the state. Most of them are working on businesses related to this technology. MIPS helped develop not just a new product, but a new industry.

The project proved successful, allowing Matrics to create 60 jobs as a result.
