 | | | Network Integration Services Success Story Partnering with Lucent Helps U.S. Army Modernize Network Assets for High-Speed Data Lucent system integration experts carry out a major upgrade from copper to fiber on multi-vendor networks serving Army bases throughout North America and Asia. Government Challenge:
The U.S. Army launched its Integrated Installation Infrastructure Modernization Program (I3MP), which is designed to enhance the capacity, speed, reliability, and security of Army's mission-critical data communications in North America and Asia. The goals of I3MP were to: - Transform Army's existing multi-vendor, primarily copper network infrastructure into an integrated, high-speed optical network from access to core.
- Deploy modernized network rapidly and take charge of ongoing operations and maintenance.
Solution: - Provided a full-service response, including a seasoned technical staff, equipped with Bell Labs tools, to survey sites, design plans, and stage deployment.
- Installed fiber in the bases' outside plant; upgraded access to the data backbone.
- Fully integrated new with existing multi-vendor systems, databases, and equipment.
- Assumed frontline responsibility for operating and maintaining the modernized infrastructure to Army's stringent performance metrics.
Benefits:
- Based on Lucent's history of managing, designing and implementing network projects for Army's Common User Installation Transport Network (CUITN) Program since 1992, Lucent can modernize the network faster.
- A comprehensive solution integrates infrastructures, built by multiple vendors throughout North America and Asia, into a unified, high-capacity, high-performance network.
- Mission-critical data gets to Army personnel more quickly and reliably with the security levels the military expects.
- Integration of multi-vendor network assets, transition from copper to fiber, upgrade to high-speed transmission all proceed seamlessly and transparently to end users.
- Sourcing network planning, deployment, operations, and maintenance to Lucent specialists enables Army to achieve its network objectives against an aggressive schedule with minimum investment.
The Bottom Line
The Army has a state-of-the-art, integrated, high-speed optical network that ensures that mission critical data reaches its destination quickly and reliably.
