Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real time
communications technology and IP optical networking solutions to
many of the world's largest service providers, enterprises, and
critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their
networks, today announced that it has been selected as the
technology provider for the US Department of Defense Information
Services Agency (DISA) Soft Switch Backbone (SSBB) RFP awarded
to ValidaTek, Inc. The mission of the SSBB is to provide a global,
secure, and resilient mission critical voice communications
infrastructure to all branches and agencies of the US Department of
Defense.
Ribbon is delivering state of the art voice communication
infrastructure components to help modernize and secure DISA's
communications network, reducing cybersecurity vulnerabilities
