BELLEVUE, Wash. and RESTON, Va. — June 14, 2022 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — T-Mobile and Oceus are excited to announce a strategic alliance to deliver key offerings to the U.S. government. This collaboration will focus on products and services that leverage T-Mobile, America’s largest, fastest, and most reliable 5G network, and Oceus’ unique 5G product offerings to provide a full portfolio of solutions designed specifically for the federal government. Oceus’ extensive experience in deploying cellular broadband in military environments, combined with T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced Network Solutions, will provide new capabilities and cutting-edge use cases for the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense (DoD).

As the DoD accelerates the adoption of transformative 5G and future generation wireless networking technologies to ensure its forces can operate effectively virtually anywhere, they need the support of strong partners. So, T-Mobile and Oceus are teaming up to ensure that customers like the U.S. government have innovative, industry-leading solutions. Together, T-Mobile and Oceus are poised to deliver applications within the DoD for AR/VR, maintenance and logistics, training, and active operations — thanks to T-Mobile’s leading 5G nationwide network, assets, engineering expertise, and solution portfolio alongside Oceus’ extensive cellular experience with massive MIMO, and software-defined network orchestration in deployable, enterprise, and cloud-based solutions.

T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced Network Solutions — a suite of supercharged, managed network solutions — unlocks massive amounts of data by combining 5G connectivity with edge computing so the data, no matter where it’s located, can be gathered and processed at blazing fast speeds. Oceus brings years of expertise in developing, integrating, and customizing proprietary tools and technology for delivering access to fast, reliable cellular-based connectivity in mission-critical operations. Offerings will focus on secure 5G private networks, multi-access edge compute and SecDevOps.

“This is a game changer for DoD, and as an example, late last year Oceus and T-Mobile teamed up to provide a response to an urgent request for high-capacity emergency communications in support of Operation Allies Welcome (OAW),” said Callie Field, President, T-Mobile Business Group. “This provided over 6,400 DoD and interagency customers and 30,000 Afghan guests reliable use of retrofitted systems with T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G network, generating a daily average of more than 20,000 voice calls with an estimated data usage of 500 megabits per second (Mbps), and over three terabytes (TB) of average aggregate usage across the four locations.”

Jeff Harman, President and CEO of Oceus stated “T-Mobile has live 5G capacity that is unmatched, and this capacity allows our clients to securely access maximum 5G coverage. We’re excited to partner further to deliver new solutions that are needed today by the U.S. government.”

Oceus ONmission Provides Mobile Network Management Control for Challenging Environments

(RESTON, Va.) — In alignment with accelerated growth, Oceus is reorganizing around two operational divisions: Oceus Federal Civilian and Industries Division (“FedCiv and Industries”) and Oceus DoD and Intel Division.

Oceus is pleased to announce the addition of Bart Gray to their team as Senior Vice President and General Manager for the FedCiv and Industries Division. Bart brings a wealth of experience in taking new technologies to market with prior positions at Parsons Corporation, SimSpace and 3M. “We see commercial private networks as a significant growth market and are excited to have Bart, with his broad technical experience from start-up to large, complex conglomerate, lead this dynamic business unit,” said Brad Antle, Executive Chairman of Oceus.

In this role, Steve will continue to shape the DoD strategy and go-to-market initiatives for Oceus. Steve brings a long heritage and deep understanding of applying leading broadband capabilities to the DoD and for other government customers.

In this expansion, Oceus will leverage Oceus Plano Labs, an innovation and integration facility that is responsible for 35 patents, for both market domains. Jeff Harman, President for Oceus, states, “The synergies between the two markets have never been this closely aligned, and we see a clear discriminator in what Plano Labs can offer to both verticals.”

The distributed architectures Oceus excels in providing have been critical in the DoD environment and are now a critical requirement in the commercial sector as well. “New network architectures that can quickly adapt to changing requirements, include compute at the edge, have extremely low latency, and are able to operate in less-than-ideal conditions have applicability to both markets,” said Kevin Stiles, CTO for Oceus.

Mobile Communications Innovator to Build 5G Test Systems to be Used by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) Research & Engineering (R&E)

(RESTON, Va.) — Oceus is pleased to announce they have been awarded a 5G Cell on Light Truck (CoLT) subcontract from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), which will be used to support research and development for OUSD(R&E). The initial order is for $21 million with options to provide a total of $32 million in equipment and services.

Under the subcontract, Oceus, along with key partner Ericsson, will build 5G test systems for 5G applications. As part of the project, Oceus will deploy Ericsson’s Release 15 3GPP standards-based 5G Core cloud native software enabling standalone 5G, along with 5G New Radio (NR) hardware and software, which fulfill mission-critical grade service requirements. Each system will have specified frequency bands to test the full spectrum in 5G implementations.

Oceus’ Executive Chairman Brad Antle states: “We are excited to bring world-class 5G solutions to the U.S. government.” Jeff Harman, President of Oceus, adds: “This award builds on our legacy of providing the best-in-class mobile communication platforms to extend communications to the tactical edge.”

Oceus’ initial delivery for the project will be seven CoLTs configured to test a variety of 5G use cases. Engineering and design for the systems will be conducted out of Oceus’ Plano Lab facilities. The Plano Labs facility specializes in configurations of 5G systems in several form factors and will lead this deliverable. Each CoLT is uniquely configured to test the various bands of spectrum from FR1 to FR2 frequency ranges. Oceus will provide training on how to operate the systems along with providing field support and warranty to sustain the systems.

Oceus is excited and humbled to be selected to support the DoD in experimentation and testing of 5G for the Warfighter. We look forward to providing this capability to the men and woman who deserve to have the very best technology available.

As part of the Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Training project at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington, Oceus will develop and field a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based 5G handheld called Tough Mobile Device-5G (TMD-5G) for the field training environment. The objective of this project is to rapidly field a scalable, resilient, and secure 5G network to provide a test bed for experimentation with a 5G-enabled Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) capability for mission planning, distributed training, and operational use.

This is part of a DoD effort for 5G experimentation and testing at five U.S. military test sites totaling $600 million in awards. Representing the largest full-scale 5G tests for dual-use applications in the world, each installation will partner military Services, industry leaders, and academic experts to advance the Department’s 5G capabilities.
