The IC and DoD communities are privy to highly sensitive information and require advanced security measures as well as the intuitive usability to meet the demands of their mission. Our experienced staff of consultants and engineers integrate secure collaboration components across various network classification levels (JWICS, SIPR, and NIPR). With expertise in integrating complex projects on highly classified projects, our highly qualified and cleared team leverage our unique and secure infrastructure and established technology partnerships to deliver the highest quality results wherever and whenever.
In 2021, an Intelligence Community customer selected the CIS Secure team to help solve the challenges of updating the aging Video Telepresence Conferencing (VTC) and AV infrastructure of more than 1,000 of their conference rooms. Our team engaged with the customers’ leadership and technology teams to identify mission collaboration goals in order to design, deploy and operate a robust VTC solution.

Traditional Conference Rooms – small, medium, large, and customized environments
Operational Training Rooms
Operational Laboratory Environments
Auditoriums
Leadership-level Conference Centers
Command Centers
Mission critical? Mission secure.
This diversity of rooms and physical environments drives the need for innovative design and deployment of solutions in the following areas for the customer:
Video

Audio
As the baseline medium for collaboration, audio can be interpreted as inputs such as microphones or outputs such as speakers. Whether table-top or ceiling-based solution, our engineers work with the customer to design the best audio solution based on the dimensions, materials and functionality of the room.
Collaboration Codec Endpoints
Standardization on a scalable platform and flexible set of codecs is critical to a successful deployment. CIS Secure engineers integrated a family of codecs to accommodate customer requirements while still providing a supportable environment.
