WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - CenturyLink Inc. (CTL) said it won a multi-year task order valued at more than $250 million from the Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization or DISA/DITCO to provide private line services for dedicated high-speed connections between military installations.
Also, CenturyLink would leverage its state-of-the-art nationwide backbone to deliver secure and robust private line services, from Digital Signal Level (DS)-0 through Optical Carrier Level (OC)-768. With private line services from CenturyLink, the Department of Defense or DOD would benefit from reliable transport service; scalable, low latency; and the ability to support multiple applications with flexible network configurations.
Pursuant to the terms of the order by DISA/DITCO, CenturyLink Government would provide private line services to the DOD as it migrates to Networx, the largest global communications contract program ever developed for the federal government by the U.S. General Services Administration. When the five-year task order is fully implemented in 2012, CenturyLink Government would offer private line services to all DOD agencies, including the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy.
