Air Force Command and Control Network Expands with net.com's Promina

Network Equipment Technologies was awarded a $5 million contract by General Dynamics Decision Systems for expansion of the United States Air Force's voice, video and data command and control network. The USAF's Theater Deployable Communications (TDC) Integrated Communications Access Packages (ICAP) Program network, which is currently composed of net.com's Promina 400 platforms, is being expanded by another 40 Promina 400 nodes and will additionally incorporate a Promina 800 node at each of five larger sites. The TDC ICAP network nodes are all transit-case mounted for easy mobility. Within 30 minutes of landing in deployed areas, USAF technicians are able to establish communications with Internet gateway, secure IP, and voice (NAPR, SIPR and DSN) services.
