DULLES, Va., June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- N.E.T. Federal, a subsidiary of Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. , and a leading network equipment and solutions provider to the federal and defense marketplace, today announced that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has awarded the company an extension to the existing Bandwidth Management Equipment (BME) contract to continue to upgrade NATO's global communications network. N.E.T. Federal was previously awarded the BME NATO project in 2003 for both its Promina bandwidth manager and SCREAM broadband platforms.
The latest deployment, which includes up to 46 equipment sites, is intended to complete the BME network and to improve communication efforts and network management for mission-critical applications. The BME network provides the basis of NATO's core communications infrastructure for voice and data, and provides circuit, packet and ATM networking technology to meet NATO's key operational priorities.
"The scope of NATO's infrastructure makes it critical for us to maintain a flexible, reliable and unified communications network for our member countries to support our global initiatives," said Jakob Thur, NATO C3 Agency project manager. "N.E.T. Federal has consistently provided NATO with solutions that have helped us to develop an effective infrastructure and, as an added benefit, we have the capability to integrate the latest technologies into our network architecture."
N.E.T. Federal has been providing communications equipment to NATO since 1995 with deployments of Promina equipment to support NATO efforts in the Balkans and during NATO's expansion from 19 to 26 member countries.
"We value our long-term relationship with NATO and have developed a deep understanding of their evolving technological requirements," said John Winters, vice president of sales for N.E.T. Federal.
