en.Wedoany.com Reported - MetTel announced that it has completed a rapid network capacity upgrade under its Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), deploying Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology, 22 high-capacity network circuits, and IP voice services for 11 GSA offices nationwide.

The project enables hundreds of federal employees to use high-performance workplaces under the government's return-to-office mandate. SD-WAN provides intelligent traffic management, enhanced resilience, and centralized network visibility, while high-capacity circuits are tailored to each site's unique needs.

The GSA's EIS contract is a 15-year, $50 billion government-wide framework designed to help federal agencies modernize their telecommunications and network infrastructure. Since receiving EIS contract authorization in January 2020, MetTel has consistently delivered network modernization, managed services, and communications transformation projects for federal clients.

When federal employees were required to return to the office full-time, the GSA faced a surge in bandwidth demand for mission-critical government services nationwide. MetTel installed all 22 circuits across all 11 offices within weeks, outpacing industry norms. The existing SD-WAN architecture provided the flexibility and scalability for this upgrade. A 10G circuit requiring entirely new carrier infrastructure was completed in under 60 days, meeting the accelerated timeline of the telecommunications service priority directive. Bandwidth was also planned for future growth, with built-in capacity to support evolving staffing and digital needs, avoiding additional infrastructure modifications for long-term cost avoidance.

Don Parente, Vice President of Public Sector at MetTel, stated that the federal return-to-office mandate posed an urgent and real test of the company's capabilities, and the operations team delivered rapid, reliable network modernization that met the requirements of the government's executive order.
