Verizon Helping Army Upgrade Communications
Verizon Business recently announced it has signed a contract with the Army to help modernize and upgrade the telecommunications infrastructure on U.S. Army posts, camps and stations worldwide over the next decade."We are supporting Army communications from the installation level all the way up to the front lines," said Paul Bates, vice president for global professional services and enterprise solutions for Verizon Business. "As the Army moves to EoIP-or Everything over IP-Verizon Business will provide the latest technology to help the government increase networking capabilities while maintaining affordability.''
The Internet Protocol (IP) services will provide network efficiencies while increasing the speed of the flow of information-including voice and data-from the front lines. Additionally, the Army will have increased flexibility to turn up communications quickly.
