VIENNA, Va., Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is
putting our connectivity and communications innovations to work for
the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC). We recently secured a
new contract with the U.S. Navy to provide mobility solutions,
services and devices.
The U.S. Navy awarded contracts potentially worth $993 million over 5 years for mobility services
from carriers. Because we are one of the awardees, we can compete
to supply advanced technologies to the U.S. Navy and USMC. Our goal
is to help the U.S. Navy and USMC transform their operations and
support the modernization of their forces.
The contract reflects a rigorous set of data-driven requirements
and processes for managing wireless services and providers that the
U.S. Navy developed based on vast experience acquired over the last
10 years.
The U.S. Navy and other defense and civilian agencies can buy
our highly secure, innovative connectivity solutions. These
include:
- Fleet Management and Asset Management solutions. These can help
with efficiency, improved safety and cost savings for U.S. Naval
and USMC fleet and assets across the U.S.
- Smart Base solutions that pair our network with IoT sensors to
automate key systems on the base. These solutions can support
water, energy and lighting management, public safety operations,
perimeter security, transportation and more. They will help the
branches operate more safely and efficiently and cut down on
unnecessary costs.
"This contract underscores the U.S. Navy's commitment to
modernize its forces," said Mike
Leff, vice president-Defense, AT&T Public Sector. "As a
government-wide acquisition contract, it supports purchasing
efficiencies for Department of Defense and civilian government
agencies when they buy our innovative advanced technology
solutions."
