AMERICOM Goverment Services

Agency
Federal Bureau of Investigation

Department
United States Department of Justice

Mission
To protect and defend the United States against foreign intelligence threats, uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and provide criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal and international agencies and partners.

Challenge
The FBI needed to acquire the most reliable satellite capacity available to support advanced communications for better analysis of threat data and improved coordination between all field offices. The agency needed reliable connectivity available 24x7 to better protect American citizens against espionage and terrorist threats.

Solution
Good intelligence requires constant connectivity, and reliable and scalable bandwidth is the lifeblood of communications in our modern, networked world. As recent events have regrettably shown, both natural disasters and terrorist attacks can quickly take down any type of terrestrial-based communications network. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needed a trusted market leader with extensive government experience to ensure that all FBI field offices in the United States and Puerto Rico would always have reliable connectivity no matter what the situation or event.


Federal Bureau of Investigation

The FBI needed to acquire the most reliable satellite capacity available to support advanced communications for better analysis of threat data and improved coordination between all field offices.

The FBI turned to AMERICOM Government Services (AGS) for the satellite capacity needed for their nationwide communications network. AGS supports the network with a highly scalable and redundant supply of bandwidth, up/down link services and all necessary consulting services such as network development and project implementation.

These satellite communications services allow the FBI greater flexibility in data analysis, enabling better intelligence sharing on known dangers and realtime sharing of threat level assessments. To better synchronize the FBI's intelligence operations, the satellite capacity provided by AMERICOM Government Services supports the transmission of digital video, data networking and other telecommunications services. Secure VSAT stations connect each field office to the national network.

The FBI and other government customers have urgent and growing needs for increased amounts of satellite communications bandwidth. AMERICOM Government Services has been meeting these needs for more than 30 years, helping the FBI and other government agencies better serve and protect the American public.
