Expanding its scope to include Unified Communications (UC) and support for Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to IP migration. The ARC Lab evolved to become a Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) test center charged with certifying multi-vendor components for addition to the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Department of Defense Information Networks (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL) for network solutions. The ARC Lab’s ever-expanding technical capabilities and its interoperability and cybersecurity certification process familiarity make it ideal for testing, optimizations, and interoperability certification of emergent 5G communication technologies, including software-defined networks and cloud migration. The ARC Lab maintains partnerships with industry to facilitate rapid prototyping, acquisition, and sustainment artifacts development. (U.S. Navy photo by Gerard Sekerak)
