LGS, a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent dedicated to serving the US government community, has become a subcontractor to STG, on a $47m contract to provide the United States Army Reserve access to the Department of Defense (DoD) classified information network.

Initially, LGS will work on a $12m task order to engineer, furnish, install and test the installation of Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) cafes’ for 161 US Army Reserve (USAR) Centrws across the United Stated and Puerto Rico.

SIPRNET is reportedly DoD’s largest network for the exchange of classified information and messages. It interfaces with the Global Command and Control System, the Defense Messaging System and numerous other classified warfighting and planning applications.

This is understood to be the first phase of a potential $47m contract awarded to STG, a government contractor that provides enterprise and IT infrastructure, security, applied engineering, and scientific and professional services.
