The U.S. Marine Corps has awarded Black Box a $17.9 million contract to update and develop telecommunications network architectures and systems at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
Black Box said Monday it will engineer, furnish, deploy, secure and evaluate the base’s communication, network and collaboration infrastructures in an effort to support a high availability unified communications platform.
Jeff Murray, vice president of government solutions at Black Box, said the company will work to advance the command and control, communications, computing and intelligence functions and mission environment at Camp Lejeune.
The Marine Corps Systems Command Base Telecommunications Infrastructure Program Office contract supports the military branch’s initiative to modernize the C4I sets deployed throughout its local and international bases.
