The contract was awarded in 2006 and consisted of three DWDM rings, spanning 2,100km connecting 15 access locations supporting army installations throughout Germany, Italy and Belgium.
The middleware system is expected to aid in transforming the army’s TDM to IP network centric architecture, and consists of MPLS/IP routers and encryption devices that connect I3MP, Army Communities of Interests and Legacy networks to the DWDM-OTN network.
The project was managed by the US Army’s Product Manager Defence Communications Systems Europe located at Funari Barracks in Mannheim, Germany. The US Army’s 5th Signal command will be responsible for operations and maintenance of the network.
