News and Trend
From courthouse IT closets to military base networks, much of the federal telecom infrastructure in place today is decades old, inefficient, and vulnerable. While patchwork solutions can buy time, they also drive up risk—and costs.
Modernizing telecom infrastructure is not just an IT initiative. It’s a national security priority, a budget-saving opportunity, and a way to increase efficiency across departments and agencies.
Here’s why it matters—and what your agency can gain.
Modern telecom upgrades reduce vulnerability to:
Eavesdropping and physical cable tampering
Latency-related delays in decision-making
Cyber intrusions through legacy hardware
Modern systems require less energy and offer:
Lower cooling requirements due to modern switching gear
More efficient bandwidth usage via optical networks
Integrated building systems that reduce waste
Plus, newer infrastructure requires fewer emergency repairs—freeing up budgets for growth instead of patching.
Modern telecom architecture enables:
Cross-department connectivity with reduced latency
Real-time coordination for emergencies and command operations
Better support for cloud platforms and zero-trust architectures
New infrastructure makes it easier to meet:
FISMA, NIST, and CMMC standards
Buy American Act (BAA) and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) sourcing rules
Energy and sustainability mandates under Executive Order 14057
With integrated tracking and better documentation, you’re ready for audits, inspections, and future federal standards.
At ACG, we work with federal agencies to assess, plan, and execute telecom upgrades that meet modern demands while maximizing ROI and minimizing downtime.
We integrate fiber optics, network cabling, smart routing, and secure endpoints—all backed by compliant labor and deep federal experience.
