Government agencies, including military health system facilities and VA hospitals, now able to procure and implement the latest in-building broadband DAS from InnerWireless RICHARDSON, Texas--(Business Wire)-- InnerWireless®, Inc., the premier provider of end-to-end in-building converged wireless solutions, today announced its award of a General Services Administration (GSA) MAS contract number GS-35F-0477V, enabling the company to do business directly with the Federal Government through the GSA Information Technology (IT) Schedule 70. InnerWireless` Horizon Converged Wireless solution, also known as a distributed antenna system (DAS), is now available on the GSA IT Schedule 70. U.S. government agencies utilize the GSA IT Schedule 70 to directly access commercial products and services through qualified vendors who can meticulously address the needs of the government IT community. With the federal government`s Cooperative Purchasing Program, InnerWireless` solutions and services will also be available for state and local government entities to procure from Schedule 70 through the Special Item Number (SIN) 132-53, which is the category for Wireless Services. "Our high performance and ultra-reliable DAS solutions are already known to many federal agencies through our successful installations at the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters in Washington, D.C., The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Consolidation Campus in White Oaks, Maryland," said Ed Cantwell, president, CEO and chairman at InnerWireless. "Through the GSA Schedule 70, many more government agencies, including those who provide healthcare to active military and veterans, will be able to select our wireless platform for buildings and medical facilities that require the latest in-building wireless coverage and capacity capabilities. InnerWireless is also a compelling solution when undertaking major healthcare initiatives such as Electronic Medical Records requiring ubiquitous wireless coverage in existing facilities." Many of today`s government buildings were built long before the development of wireless technology, and as more government employees depend on wireless devices, including BlackBerry devices, 3G Smartphones, cell phones, and Wi-Fi enabled medical devices as part of their daily work routines, federal agencies are building new facilities or performing major renovation to include InnerWireless` DAS technology. With guaranteed coverage and signal strength and solid engineering and design, InnerWireless` Horizon Converged Wireless solution is the only turnkey solution ready and proven for deployment throughout multiple governmental agencies, particularly within healthcare facilities such as VA hospitals and military health system facilities. Under the GSA Schedules (also referred to as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules) Program, GSA establishes long-term, government-wide contracts with commercial firms to provide access to commercial supplies (products) and services that can be ordered directly from GSA Schedule contractors or through GSA Advantage (www.gsaadvantage.gov), the GSA online shopping and ordering system. GSA Schedules offer government customers direct access and delivery of millions of state-of-the-art, high-quality commercial supplies and services at volume discount pricing. Government customers can access information about InnerWireless through the GSA Schedules e-Library by searching the contract number (FSS) GS-35F-0477V. The GSA application and process for InnerWireless was facilitated by The Washington Management Group in Washington, D.C.
