Communication Systems

The Base Telecommunication Systems arena is typical of Altech’s success in managing technological projects. Currently we manage the telecommunication systems for seven U.S. Air Force bases across the nation. Altech was also successful in the award of a US Army Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contract for the Directorate of Information Management Systems (DOIM) for the operation and maintenance of their communications systems. This contract has Altech providing operational and maintenance support for switching systems (Nortel SL-100 Switch and the Nortel SL-1 switch) for the US Army, which has the potential to encompass support for 95 Army locations worldwide. Currently, Altech has been awarded two of these installations, Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA and Ft. Stewart, GA.

Altech provides across the spectrum communication services and we have received “exceptional or very good” past performance ratings on all of our BTS contracts. Two past contracts, Fairchild AFB and Charleston AFB were directly sourced back to Altech, in lieu of re-competition, as a result of the excellent work history and services provided. The following is a brief description of our telecommunication capabilities.

Outside Cable Plant

Altech is experienced with buried, underground and aerial systems for both copper and fiber optic cables. The cable sizes range from 6 pair to 3,600 in copper, and from 6 strands to 168 strands in single, multi-mode, and composite fiber optic cables. We perform preventative maintenance and schedule periodic testing on the cable plant to ensure continuous system and network integrity.

Altech will also assume responsibility for all cable fault restoration. Circuit rerouting and workarounds are employed to expedite restoration of critical users circuits in emergency situations. Ten percent of spare cable pairs and fiber strands are tested each month to ensure specifications are met and that the spares are continuously available for customer use.

Products

Altech is also entered into a teaming agreement with RAD Data Communications and fSONA as the Valued Added Reseller (VAR) for their wireless telecommunications equipment. Using RAD's patented Time Division Multiplexing over the Internet Protocol (TDMoIP) allows service providers to migrate to next generation networks while allowing them to continue to provide services using their legacy equipment. This offers the service providers an affordable alternative for upgrading their communication systems. The equipment allows enterprises to run voice, data, and video over their IP/Ethernet-based networks, which minimizes network maintenance and operating costs. As the VAR for these products, Altech provides the hardware as well as the installation and support services for these communication systems worldwide.
