Infinera Intelligent Transport Networks Now Available to All U.S. Federal Government Agencies
August 24 2017 - 8:00AM
Infinera, a provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced
that its full portfolio of optical transport networking equipment
and services is now available to all U.S. federal government
agencies via General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 70,
NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V (SEWP V) and Air
Force Network-Centric Solutions-2 (NETCENTS-2).
The federal government estimates spending $86B on information
technology services in 2018 and relies on GSA Schedule, SEWP V and
NETCENTS-2 for procurement of optical transport solutions. The
federal government and many state agencies utilize GSA Schedules to
pre-negotiate prices and contract terms to ensure the purchasing
process flows smoothly. Infinera maintains a relationship with
immixGroup, the largest value-added distributor of enterprise
software and hardware products to public sector solution providers,
systems integrators and U.S. government agencies, to offer
Infinera’s solutions to government agencies on immixGroup’s
contract vehicles.
“All federal agencies now have access to Infinera’s Intelligent
Transport Networks,” said Wray Varley, Vice President of Government
Sales at Infinera. “Thanks to support from immixGroup, we are
making it easier to bring scalable and reconfigurable bandwidth and
network efficiency to the government sector.”
“As a U.S.-based vertically integrated equipment supplier,
Infinera provides network operators an end-to-end portfolio of
packet-optical solutions,” said Roger Baker, Infinera Government
Advisory Board Member. “Now with widespread availability,
Infinera’s Intelligent Transport Networks can better support U.S.
government entities in meeting mission-critical needs with optical
networks built on innovative technology.”
Infinera created the Infinera Government Advisory Board in 2016
to provide expert perspective on the specific needs of the
government sector and to offer guidance on how to best navigate and
thrive in this strategic sector.
