CenturyLink will provide core backbone network services with speeds of up to 100 Gbps to NASA over a period of nine and a half years.
"It's an honor to be the first vendor awarded an EIS task order," said David Young, CenturyLink senior vice president, strategic government. "Our fast, secure network connectivity will help NASA achieve its vision to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind."
