Newbridge Wireless has been selected to modernize and manage the cellular wireless infrastructure at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.
For more than 65 years, DARPA has advanced breakthrough technologies that strengthen U.S. national security and help shape future innovation. Newbridge is honored to support the agency with reliable communications infrastructure that is fundamental to operating safely, effectively, and without interruption.
Supporting Mission-Critical Government Communications
Reliable indoor cellular connectivity has become essential infrastructure for federal, state, and municipal government buildings. Employees, contractors, and visitors depend on wireless communication to support daily operations, mission continuity, emergency response, and public safety.
The DARPA project expands Newbridge Wireless’s experience supporting government facilities with complex operational requirements, including security and long-term performance requirements. For example, Newbridge’s DAS solutions for in-building cellular coverage will help overcome any signal weakness created by the LEED-certified all-glass facade of the DARPA headquarters building.
Newbridge has also delivered Distributed Antenna System (DAS) projects for federal agencies including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These projects include in-building and campus-wide wireless coverage infrastructure designed to provide dependable cellular service and support evolving connectivity needs.
Why Government Organizations Choose a Managed DAS Model
Maintaining specialized cellular infrastructure requires ongoing technical expertise, system monitoring, technology investment, carrier coordination, and lifecycle planning. Newbridge Wireless’s DAS-as-a-Service model gives government organizations a single experienced partner to manage these responsibilities over the life of the system.
Benefits of the fully managed model include:
- A predictable operating expense model without the burden of infrastructure ownership
- A single partner accountable from system design through ongoing operations
- 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and lifecycle management
- Ongoing coordination and engagement with wireless carriers
- A scalable path to support evolving wireless technologies and coverage requirements
This approach allows agency teams to remain focused on their missions while Newbridge Wireless handles the ongoing technical and operational demands of the wireless infrastructure.
