LGS will provide infrastructure and optical fiber upgrades to Fort Polk, as well as several range areas. LGS will also be installing two new communications shelters, consolidate communications nodes and upgrade the core hardware solution to 10 gigabits providing one gigabit to each end user building.
Ron Iverson, CEO of LGS, said: LGS continues to work closely with the US Army to deploy new technologies that improve communications both inside and between its installations. Our team of highly specialized network engineers is able to quickly identify, plan and deploy secure, communications technology that provide enough bandwidth to support applications such as VoIP and video conferencing.
