According to the agreement, Qwest and TKC will construct a network that will provide a range of very-high-bandwidth services, including some connections capable of sending 600,000 emails per second, and will connect NASA sites in multiple phases.
The first phase will connect Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama; Glenn Research Center in Cleveland; NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC; Kennedy Space Center in Florida; Johnson Space Center in Houston; and Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
"Qwest has been providing network services for the NASA Research and Education Network (NREN) for more than a year, and we have shown NASA that Qwest is the company to turn to for cutting-edge network services," says James F. X. Payne, senior vice president and general manager, Qwest government services division. "This is a unique project that will showcase Qwest's ability to deliver a tailored communications solution to a high-profile federal agency with multiple sites throughout the United States, an important asset in today's increasingly data-centric communications environment."
