Communication Systems
The Communications Systems arena is typical of Altech’s success in managing
technological projects. Currently we manage the Base Telecommunications Systems for six US 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 Network Enterprise Center(NEC) for the operation and maintenance of their
communications systems. This contract has Altech providing operational and maintenance support for switching systems
(Nortel SL-100, Nortel SL-1, G3R, etc. switches) for the US Army, which has the potential to encompass support for 95 Army
locations worldwide. Altech has been awarded four of these installations to include services currently being provided at Ft. Sam Houston, TX and Ft. Carson, CO.
Altech provides across the spectrum communication services and we have received “exceptional or very good” past
performance ratings on all of our BTS contracts. 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.
