The Department of Defence has signed a contract with Telstra to continue the delivery of critical network and telecommunications services in support of Defence operations.
The contract, valued at over $1 billion, will extend and refresh the Terrestrial Communications Services Contract with Telstra for five years. These services support the capabilities delivered under Joint Project 2047, a multi-phased project designed to improve Defence networked communications infrastructure, which has recently reached Final Operating Capability.
The services provided through this new contract allow Defence greater agility to meet increasing demand on telecommunications services, ensure capabilities are kept modern, drawing on the latest technology and securing the Department from the pervasive cyber threat.
