Forecast text
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Information and Technology, Enterprise Wireless Communications Division (EWCD) is responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, and management of CBP network infrastructures. EWCD provides operational day-to-day, 24 x 7 technology support to all CBP field locations and manages the enterprise wide and local area networks. In addition, EWCD provides wireless, surveillance, and detection technology to CBP field offices, performs field outreach, manages field modernization projects and oversees field deployments in tandem with its sister organization, the Field Support Directorate.
EWCD aggressively works to modernize CBP field locations and deploy a common wireless communications infrastructure and a consistent desktop configuration across all of CBP; improving network diversity, security and survivability.
CBP personnel rely heavily on various tools and technologies as they perform their daily law enforcement missions. Land mobile radio (LMR) and tactical communication subscriber technologies are used to maintain continuous communications with front line personnel. Today, the various LMR solutions (Very High Frequency (VHF) , Ultra High Frequency (UHF), and 700/800 MHz), including satellite and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) modules and/or devices, continue to show their usefulness as CBP organizationally continues to add to the increasing fleet of subscriber based equipment.
Over time, subscriber equipment degrades since it is continuously required to operate in harsh and dangerous environments. Extreme weather conditions, rough terrain, and roads, mishandling of equipment, and use in dusty and damp environments, all add to the collective degradation of the equipment. Providing continuous support, scheduled maintenance, and repair activities ensures that the tactical communications subscriber community of user equipment is functioning at optimum performance levels. Presently, the CBP Office of Information Technology (OIT), Enterprise Wireless Communications Division’s (EWCD) Hi-Tech Program Office (hereafter referred to as the Program Office) provides repair and maintenance services that cover approximately 110,000 tactical communications subscriber equipment radios no longer included under the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) warranty.
