  • Commercial Ethernet Gateway (CEG)

    Putting Network Engineering to Work for the Navy

    The Commercial Ethernet Gateway (CEG) is a 10-year lease contract vehicle aimed at modernizing the Department of Defense’s (DoD) communication infrastructure. It serves as an efficient on-ramp to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN), offering highly available Ethernet Virtual Private Line (E-VPL) connections at competitive rates. By replacing older, lower-bandwidth circuits with higher-capacity options, CEG accelerates the transition to cloud-hosted services and realizes cost savings.

    AGE Solutions is leading the way with our proven approach to assist the Department of the Navy (DON) and 4th Estate agencies in transitioning to CEG. Our deep understanding of the implementation process and stakeholder dynamics enables efficient resource allocation and risk mitigation. We use documented, measurable processes that have been matured through our work on the U.S. Navy Circuit Engineering and Implementation Support Program. AGE solutions engineers are responsible for the survey, design, planning and implementation of major network upgrades at over 150 locations. This includes assessment of both the physical and logical network topologies and subsequent design and engineering work to optimize the environments including cable plant (inside and outside) and environmental constraints (space, power, HVAC). In addition to supporting the Navy’s fixed environments, our team is currently developing a modernized solution for delivery of ultra-low frequency emergency action messages worldwide to subsurface and aerial vessels, arguably one of the most critical messaging systems in the Department of Defense.

  • DISA DoDNet

    Putting Network Engineering to Work for the 4th Estate

    AGE Solutions played a pivotal role in the 4th Estate consolidation and the DoDNet program, specializing in network design changes, standardization, and technology upgrades globally. Our expertise extends from designing enterprise services to developing standardized architectures, IP schemas and processes for onboarding Defense Agency and Field Activities (DAFAs) and migrating the existing DoDNet off the Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS) in favor of software defined Customer Edge Security Stacks (CESS). To enhance efficiency while reducing human error, our team extensively leveraged Python and Jinja2 templating to automate the implementation of enterprise standard configurations as DISA assumes control of mission partner network infrastructure, compute, and storage systems. This allowed our team to automate the configuration of network infrastructure devices through variable driven templates. Additionally, our team supported DPAA engineers during the transition of mission applications to Amazon Web Services, maintaining cybersecurity standards and establishing global connectivity across all DoDNet sites. Notably, AGE engineers spearheaded a transition from vendor-proprietary edge routers to generic edge hardware, drastically simplifying the transition to the Thunderdome SD-WAN solution while alleviating vendor-lock constraints and facilitating future edge workloads, including the Customer Edge Security Stack (CESS).

  • Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency

    Putting Network Engineering to Work for the 4th Estate

    AGE Solutions has been instrumental in bolstering the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency’s (DCSA) Commercial Ethernet Gateway (CEG) program, demonstrating expert proficiency in network engineering and service delivery. Identifying an opportunity to do more with less, our team leveraged our Solus One™ platform, combined with our Azure Government Development environment, to develop and test a Python script to automate network device configuration to comply with DoD Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and nuanced technical demands unique to the operating environment. In production, our approach included automated parsing of TSOs to derive critical variables for device configuration, including circuit identifier, IP addressing, and layer 2 tagging requirements. By leveraging automation, our approach reduced the risk of human error while ensuring configuration compliance and consistency across all sites, helping us to achieve a 100% success rate across all sites.
