Connectivity for Indo-Pacific Region

Lumen Technologies won a $1.5 billion contract from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide essential network transport and communications services in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Area of Responsibility.

The company will supply DISA with high capacity, end-to-end communications services in the 36-nation Asia Pacific region. These services—including ethernet, internet and wavelengths—will reach Alaska and Hawaii.

“We’re delivering the always-on network infrastructure so the U.S. Department of Defense can focus on its mission to enhance the stability of the Asia Pacific region, promote security cooperation with our allies and partners, respond to emerging situations, deter aggression and if necessary, fight to win,” said Zain Ahmed, senior vice president, Lumen public sector.

This indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a $1.5 billion ceiling over its 10-year period of performance and represents new business for Lumen.
