Telecommunications Contract Supports Air Traffic Control Overhaul
The FAA has awarded AT&T an initial $74.3 million task order to begin planning and development for a new air traffic control network, known as FAA Enterprise Network Services (FENS). The network will provide secure communications and information-management services across roughly 4,500 FAA facilities, supporting critical operational services and administrative systems. This contract is part of the FAA’s larger plan to replace aging ATC infrastructure by the end of 2028, as reported by Unknown Source.
