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.
