Verizon Business awarded $77.7M task order to modernize National Weather Service network infrastructure
2024年7月29日 - 9:30PM
Verizon Business, a long-term trusted partner of the National
Weather Service (NWS), has been awarded a task order valued at
nearly $80 million to transition the NWS’s current voice and data
services from the Networx contract to the Enterprise Infrastructure
Solutions (EIS) vehicle. The transition will help support the NWS’s
mission-critical work by providing weather, water and climate data,
forecasts, warnings and impact-based decision support services.
To facilitate the transition, the NWS, an agency within the
Department of Commerce (DOC), sought a vendor with the proven
ability to:
- Increase the cost-effectiveness of its services
- Reduce total cost of ownership
- Improve network performance and manageability
- Incorporate new technologies into its transformational
roadmap
Verizon Business’s extensive experience in network
infrastructure modernization and connectivity solutions made them
an ideal partner for this critical project.
“We’re proud to partner with the National Weather Service in
their mission to keep our communities safe,” said Michael Adams,
Associate Vice President for Federal Civilian Services at Verizon.
“Through the modernization of network infrastructure, we can help
enhance the capabilities of this vital federal agency as they
continue to provide timely and reliable - and in some cases,
life-saving - weather information to the American public.”
This award follows the announcement of a three-year Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Verizon Frontline
to explore new strategies to rapidly deploy uncrewed aircraft
systems that will collect and distribute imagery of damage
resulting from severe storms such as tornadoes and hurricanes. As a
NOAA/NWS Weather Ready Nation Ambassador, Verizon also supports the
NWS’s efforts to improve the nation’s readiness, responsiveness,
and resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate
events.
