Sheppard Air Force Base to Deploy New Network with Avaya

Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas, the largest training facility for the U.S. Air Force, awarded a multi-million dollar contract to Avaya covering a new communications infrastructure for the facility, a four-year service and support agreement, and a three-year agreement that gives the base a technology migration plan. The Sheppard network uses the Avaya DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server to serve more than 12,500 users. The system offers the Air Force MultiLevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) -- a feature that allows key personnel to override other system traffic in times of emergency. It also supports the range of protocols from ISDN and ATM to TDM and IP to allow for the migration to a converged network. Financial terms were not disclosed.
