U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
Critical Enterprise-class Communications
in Record Time
About The Project Team
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, the city of Miami has turned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and The Miami Beach Convention Center for an additional healthcare facility to serve the community. The Army Corps used their Deployable Tactical Operations System (DTOS) as their communication and command center for this overflow Hospital.
Project Summary
Allied Communications was engaged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide a solution inclusive of implementation services for an Avaya Communications voice system. This consisted of 200 telephones and SIP trunk connectivity "Right to Use" software licenses with the capability to expand to 2,000 stations for use at the Miami Beach Convention Center. These phones were setup in the temporary 450 bed overflow hospital that the city of Miami is creating in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The communications solution was
designed and installed in only 10 days as we understood the urgency of the quick turnover. The new Avaya solution will enable critical enterprise-class communications capabilities for administrators, doctors and patients
Mission Critical Speed
With their critical communications need, Allied designed and installed an advanced solution in less than 2 weeks.
Cost Efficient Technology
SIP trunking allows for a scalable/flexible approach to quickly add/remove lines. Cloud redundancy ensures system uptime.
Unified Communications
The Avaya Communications system allowed patients to keep in touch with their loved ones, while enabling onsite and remote staff to communicate and collaborate.

We were with a previous phone provider for 10 years. The solutions that were in place no longer supported our operations and our multiple stores across Connecticut.
We really didn’t receive much advice or support. I came across Jonathan Rees and the Allied Communications team and was floored at the level of service – and, the creative solutions that they provided to best serve our customers for now and, into the future
