Government

The government industry is one that SMCiS knows well, and happily continues to serve. SMCiS has many years of experience that lends its hand to continuing to better the technology infrastructure for our Nation’s government. SMCiS serves the government in ways that many cannot due to our capabilities for both structured cabling and outside plant construction solutions.

We proudly completed this project as the prime contractor in its entirety in 2019. During this large-scale project, SMCiS installed over 32 miles of infrastructure for Phases 1 and 2. Phases 3 and 4 consisted of more than 28 route miles of additional underground and aerial fiber construction to serve almost 4,000 residences and businesses.
• NASA Goddard with SAIC – SMCiS provides NASA with MAC (Moves, Adds and Changes) of their communications infrastructure. SMCiS performs maintenance, installation of fiber, copper, and coax cables, cable splicing, terminations and testing, cabling for security, alarms, video and CCTV, and removal/replacement of underground plant.
