Communications Networks

Real-Time Data for Real-Time Decisions

At SAIC, we know that the continuous flow and analysis of real-time data is necessary for our clients to operate and manage their mission-critical systems. When seconds can mean the difference between success and disaster, it's crucial to have confidence that communications systems are up to the task of consistently and reliably delivering the data you need at the right time, every time for applications including:

• Process control networks
• Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) communications
• Physical security and surveillance integration
• Remote operations and management
• Real-time collaboration
• Situational awareness and incident management

An Integrated Approach to Critical Infrastructure Communications

Our team of network and systems engineers works closely with clients to gain an in-depth understanding of system requirements. We have more than 40 years of critical-infrastructure communications expertise that spans the technology landscape:

• Core Networking – From network architecture through delivery and management, SAIC employs best practices derived from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE®), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO®), and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) to provide a robust and secure core network infrastructure.
• Frontier Communications – Clients use SAIC satellite and point-to-point wireless services to connect multiple facilities with reliable, cost-effective communications, provide business continuity, provide remote security/surveillance, support mobile operations, and build robust connectivity with 24/7 remote operations support.
• Industrial Wireless – With technical expertise in a variety of industrial wireless technologies, including 802.11, ISA-100, 802.15.4, and 3G/4G and Long Term Evolution (LTE), SAIC designs, implements, and manages industrial wireless systems that can help improve business and industrial processes, and can deliver rapid operational efficiencies across an enterprise.
• Satellite Communications – SAIC works closely with clients to consolidate, integrate, and standardize bandwidth, network operations centers (NOCs), infrastructure elements, client service centers, and field support to provide a consistent approach to all their communication needs.
• Terrestrial Wireless – SAIC's expertise in broadband wireless network systems design and deployment provides clients with reliable high-speed connectivity throughout their operational environment, whether a small industrial facility or large oil field. Our depth of expertise is second to none with hands-on experience with 802.11, 802.16, 3G, land mobile radio (LMR), and point-to-point solutions.
