the U.S. Army to provide network services, including voice, data,
and secure Internet access services to Fort Detrick located near
Frederick, Maryland.
Fort Detrick serves as the home base for the U.S. Army Medical
Research and Materiel Command (MRMC) and the U.S. Army Medical
Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), which
researches and develops medical solutions to protect military
service members from biological threats. PAETEC will serve its
7,800 military, federal, and contractor employees with
fault-tolerant communication solutions.
The services to be provided by PAETEC include highly reliable
voice services utilizing multiple network access points. As a

eliminating network-caused interruptions on more than 10,000 phone
lines. In addition PAETEC will provide private Ethernet data
network services and secure Internet access services to allow
military and civilian personnel located at the military facility to
communicate with off-base institutions through a secure and
fault-tolerant infrastructure.
“For years, our advanced, reliable, and cost effective solutions
have been embraced by both military and civilian agencies within
the federal government,” said Mike Magliato, PAETEC’s vice
president of government markets. “Our focus on customized
solutions, in-depth knowledge of the specific needs of the
military, as well as understanding of government requirements, make
us a strategic partner for IT leaders within the Federal
government.”
PAETEC and its subsidiaries have been providing civilian and
DOD/Military network services to Federal government agencies for
many years including contracts with the U.S. Army at Ft. Drum,
N.Y.; Aberdeen Proving Ground, Aberdeen, Md; and the Army Corps of
Engineers in Hampton Roads, Va. The contract was awarded to PAETEC
by the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM),
