PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Department of Defense (DoD) Teleport provides interoperability between multiple satellite communications (SATCOM) systems and deployed networks and is the gateway to the Global Information Grid (GIG) in support of tactical communication systems users. The DoD Teleport is a global system of SATCOM facilities that are being developed in a spiral acquisition process, designed to provide the Warfighter with access to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) from any geographical location via military or commercial satellites and frequency bands. The Teleport Program Office (TPO) introduced the Teleport Generation Three concept. Generation Three will be conducted in three phases. Phase One introduces an Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Extreme Data Rate (XDR) addition via Navy Multiband Terminal addition. Phase two provides WGA X/Ka via Army Modernization of Enterprise Terminal addition. Phase three will implement Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) to legacy interoperability via the MUOS to Legacy Gateway Component (MLGC).
