Segovia Builds IP Network Support Army's 'Connect The Logistician Program'
Herndon VA (SPX) Oct 07, 2004 Segovia announced Thursday that it is building a government-owned, contractor-operated global IP network that is an integrated part of the Army's LandWarNet, in support of the "Connect the Logistician" initiative, a key component of the focus areas of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics (G4). In a remarkable, collaborative effort that includes DISA, the U.S. Army Network Command, the U.S. Army CIO/G6 and the U.S. Army G4, Segovia duplicated its commercial global VSAT-IP (Very Small Aperture Terminal - Internet Protocol) network and is operating the global VSAT network on behalf of PM Defense Wide Transmissions Systems. Used by the 3rd Infantry Division, the first military unit to implement the CSS SATCOM system, the network allows combat service support personnel to share documents, pass requisitions, conduct meetings online, and connect logisticians to critical information. When completed, the Global IP VSAT Network will allow for far greater logistics responsiveness than ever before. CSS SATCOM remote terminals will be transportable to sites anywhere in the world and be up and communicating in less than 30 minutes after deployment. "CSS SATCOM is a great example of how government and industry can collaborate to produce time saving and potentially life-saving results," said Kirby Farrell, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of Segovia. "CSS SATCOM provides global coverage to personnel who need to share information. "We have built and are operating a network which provides all authorized personnel with a 'virtual office' wherever the units are set up. Soldiers can communicate on line, order supplies, send requisitions, check the status of those requisitions, and do almost anything they could if they were sitting in their offices back home. The VoIP phone allows the soldiers to reach people quickly." Soldiers are extremely excited about the capability that this network delivers to the force. The network enabled logisticians to requisition parts in hours instead of days, thus saving time, money and lives. The 3ID has already used the system for collaborative efforts, such as virtual maintenance meetings to prevent putting soldiers in harms way unnecessarily. Many are looking forward to taking this system to its full potential as the network matures.
