Telecom Lead America: CenturyLink,
the third largest telecommunications company in the U.S has bagged a
contract renewal worth $2.1 million to provide telecommunications services
to the U.S. Army base at Fort Stewart, Ga.
“CenturyLink is honored to have won a renewed agreement
with Fort Stewart that means we will continue to supply
telecommunications, data and Internet services to the soldiers and operations
at the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River,” said Diana
Gowen, senior vice president and general manager at CenturyLink.
The company reckons that past performance, technical
solution and total cost jointly helped it to get this contract renewal. The
contract is for one year with four one-year options.
The company said that it will continue to provide Internet,
data services, local telephone exchange and other telecommunications products
and services to support Fort Stewart’s operations and soldiers, including
