Telecommunications

As today's information systems evolve from monolithic systems to powerful distributed architectures, telecommunications technology is fundamental to success. As a world leader in telecommunications, CSC offers in-depth proven experience in every aspect of this critical area including support.

Recent years have seen immense advances in the use of telecommunications technology to support every aspect of business and industry. Telecommunications —voice, date, images and video—provides the physical "information superhighway." Businesses and government organizations are using this technology to integrate existing information systems into more effective and efficient client-server architectures, to replace current paper-based communications with more efficient and fail-safe automated approaches, to expand timely access to needed information, and to bridge physical distances separating their personnel. Local area networks (LANs) are increasingly used to integrate devices at individual sites, metropolitan are networks (MANs) that integrate communities of sites, and wide area networks (WANs) to integrate entire enterprises across the country or around the world utilizing terrestrial and satellite backbone networks.

CSC is experienced with every aspect of the implementation process -- from initial analysis, planning, modeling, through design and implementation, to ongoing support and enhancement.

What We Offer

Enterprise Modernization
CSC has been designing and developing infrastructure solutions for decades - so we’ve also been in the business of modernizing these solutions and migrating to updated designs. We will maintain your infrastructure so it continues to be user-friendly, reliable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain.

Infrastructure Refreshment
With significant investments in your telecommunications infrastructure and lightning-speed technological changes, it is necessary to plan to upgrade your systems - just to keep up. Planning provides an opportunity to truly balance technological advances with budgetary constraints. We can help you plan an effective infrastructure refreshment strategy - so that you can provide your customers with up-to-date services and support

Wireline and Wireless Technologies
CSC offers all government users the highest quality wireless services commercially available at the best possible value - and our support is also a best value. CSC is operating the Federal Wireless Service Center for the Federal Wireless Telecommunications Services contract which helps users with routine queries (ordering service and customer support) and helps representatives from various government agencies provide service to their customers and employees.

Modeling and Simulation
CSC builds, operates, and maintains large-scale communications networks which must perform optimally and with minimal interruption. We model and simulate the proposed network design. To ensure the correct network capacity and topology for these networks as they grow and change, CSC periodically models the design again.

Success Stories

CSC is responsible for the design, integration, test, and support of a wireless data system for the New York Stock Exchange. This wireless network provides capacity upwards of 1,300 brokers, specialists and NYSE staff members with customized hand-held computers and wireless radios for use on the trading floor. CSC's approach maximizes use of COTS technologies wherever applicable. Conventional technologies in use include Digital Service Units (DSUs), Channel Service Units (CSUs), and routers, supporting conventional protocols such a Ethernet, token ring, ATM, frame relay, SMDS, and TCP/IP. A major leading-edge technology focus is ATM, fielded over satellite communications links, conventional copper lines and optical networks such as SONET. Data rates supported range from fractional T1 (FT1 < 1.544 Mbps) to OC-48 (2.4 Gbps).

As a provider of telecommunications-based applications (for example, telemedicine), CSC is also focusing on multimedia environments comprising images, video, and data. Under the D/SIDDOMS contract, CSC is determining bandwidth requirements, utilizing modeling and simulation for the reliable transfer of Transmitted Computer-based Patient Records (TCPRs) among Medical Treatment Facilities in the Pacific theater under different operating scenarios. This effort requires the understanding of several technologies for image compression. For example, Discrete Cosine Transforms (DCTs), wavelet compression, and fractal compression are currently being investigated to reduce bandwidth requirements.

On the MATMO program for the DoD, CSC engineered, installed and supported demonstration networks to facilitate several telemedicine applications (e.g., video, images, and data over ATM networks via satellite and copper links).
