The State Department plans to deploy a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) supported by a $711 million task order awarded to MetTel.
A New York City-based small business, MetTel will provide a fully meshed and managed layer-3 multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network using a virtual private network (VPN), it announced Tuesday.
The 13-year task order was awarded under the $50 billion Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract as the State Department looks to modernize its IT and telecommunications infrastructure ahead of the Networx contract expiring March 31, 2023.
