Dispersed sites.Connected missions.
Guam sits 3,800 miles west of Hawaii, and island sites depend on a few undersea cables that can take weeks to months to repair. We build, test, and deliver the systems that keep each site working on its own.
The challenge
Distance is the constraint
A Pacific site may sit thousands of miles from the nearest depot, reached by 1 or 2 undersea cables, and in the path of a typhoon. When a link breaks, the site runs on what it holds.
Air Force Agile Combat Employment (ACE) and Marine Corps Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) both spread forces across many small sites, from the Marine Littoral Regiments in Hawaii and Okinawa to Philippine access sites. Each site needs its own services, spares, power, and more than 1 way to reach the network.
What is different in the Pacific
Exercises and recent outages show how far apart sites are, how long repairs take, and what weather does to a data center.

- 50 locationsIn the Air Force's REFORPAC 2025 exercise, more than 12,000 service members and about 400 aircraft operated from 50 locations spanning 3,000 miles, according to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
- Months to repairIn February 2023, both undersea cables serving Taiwan's Matsu islands were cut, and the earliest a cable ship could arrive was April 20. In April 2026, the repair estimate for a broken cable to Dongyin was the end of July.
- 72 hoursIn May 2023, Typhoon Mawar's 140 mph winds stripped parts of the data center roof at Andersen Air Force Base. Airmen kept 157 long haul circuits running through the 72 hour storm.

The solution
Built to run until the repair ship arrives
We size each site for the longest repair you plan for, build the kit with its spares, test it in our 55,000 plus square foot System Readiness Center, and support it after delivery.

- Configured sparesEvery part that would take a ship to replace stays on the island.Learn more
- Tested kitsBuilt, configured, and tested together before they ship.Learn more
- Tactical communicationsSecure radios, edge networking, and SATCOM for more than 1 path.Learn more
- Zero Trust resilienceIdentity driven security and recovery at every site.Learn more
- Training and supportSite teams learn to run cut off, and we sustain it after delivery.Learn more
Plan for local power and climate
Power standards change from country to country across the Pacific, and heat, humidity, and salt air wear on equipment. We match power supplies, plugs, and UPS settings to each site before a kit ships, and source rugged models tested by their makers to MIL-STD-810H where the site calls for it.
Buildings on a base can run on a different supply than the host nation grid, so we confirm the supply at each site with you before we order.
| Location | Mains power |
|---|---|
| Japan | 100 volts; 50 Hz in the east, 60 Hz in the west and on Okinawa |
| Korea and the Philippines | 220 volts, 60 Hz |
| Australia and Singapore | 230 volts, 50 Hz |
| Guam and Hawaii | U.S. standard power, 60 Hz |

How to buy
Army organizations and other federal agencies can order through ITES-4H. The Missile Defense Agency and other Department of War organizations worldwide can order through MDA SHIELD, and federal buyers can also use GSA.
Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and joint buyers in the Pacific can order through GSA today. Starting in November 2026, any federal agency can also order through NASA SEWP VI. The right path depends on scope, eligibility, and ordering rules.
