Navy - NMCI - Overview

Overview:  MELE Associates provides quality services to EDS on Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI).

MELE Associates currently provided professional and technical engineering services at the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) sites in Honolulu, Hawaii and other Hawaiian locations to implement a wide range of work entailed by the planned transition to the NMCI end-to-end information system. This work began when MELE established a successful working relationship with EDS more than three years ago, initially as a second-tier subcontractor, and later as a first-tier subcontractor to EDS.

The MELE Team’s expertise on this project included:

• Professional and technical engineering services to provide site surveys
• Development of preliminary designs
• Deployment of several hundred NMCI base infrastructure cabinets at various locations

These services included advice and support on governmental policies, regulations, compliance standards for both Inside Plant and Outside Plant Infrastructure, upgrades, WAN access and extensions. As-built CADD drawings are provided for all installations. Equipment cabinets meet all specifications approved during the design stage. MELE personnel surveyed more than 200 telecommunication facilities and distribution points at nine Hawaiian locations.

In addition to the site surveys and network designs in Hawaii, MELE, as a second-tier subcontractor to EDS, has conducted over 150 additional surveys at various military locations, primarily in the Tidewater, VA area. An important part of these surveys has been the provision of Quality Assurance oversight in the installation and implementation of the specifications.

As a first-tier subcontractor to EDS, MELE provided several professional and technical staff to the Network Operations Center in Honolulu. A MELE Senior Systems Administrator and several additional systems administrators on various shifts provide services. Each of these staff members is processed for the required security requirements to perform the work.
