MetTel recently completed a large-scale data and voice network upgrade for the General Services Administration (GSA), reflecting the competitive provider’s growing presence in the broader public sector services market.

Executed under GSA’s Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract, the service provider equipped the GSA with a suite of SD-WAN, SASE-based security, and low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite services for the agency’s remote sites.

As part of the network transformation, MetTel migrated hundreds of DSL and wireless LTE sites to broadband and Ethernet services, upgrading data circuits to support "Return to Office" bandwidth needs, and modernizing the agency's voice service systems.

But data services are only part of the work MetTel conducted for GSA.

As part of the project, MetTel migrated the GSA’s legacy TDM voice systems into a SIP-based, cloud-enabled environment with multi-carrier redundancy. With MetTel’s support, GSA is creating resilient and dependable voice services for critical systems such as elevators, fire alarms, and on-site childcare centers.

“This project sets a new benchmark for federal technology modernization,” said Don Parente, Vice President of Public Sector Sales at MetTel.
