The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) announced the winning bidders for the agency's Global Information Grid - Bandwidth Expansion (GIG-BE) network.
GIG-BE is a $900 million effort to upgrade DISA's network with optical, Ethernet and enhanced security technologies.
Under "indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity" subcontracts to prime contractor SAIC, Ciena will supply GIG-BE's optical transport systems; Sprint and Sycamore Networks will provide optical digital cross-connects; Juniper Networks as expected will supply edge and core routers; and Qwest and Cisco have won the multiservice provisioning platform piece of the contract.
DISA received over 55 proposals across the four equipment areas.
