The Universal Telecommunications Network
(UTN) was created to analyze, plan, and implement a new
corporate data network backbone for providing its customers
with more secure, robust, and flexible telecommunications
capabilities and enhanced network support services.
UTN works collaboratively with USDA agencies and offices
to transform the current USDA telecommunications environment
into one that will better meet the delivery challenges of
today and tomorrow.
Recent trends toward globalization, advances in secure communications,
and growing customer expectations that electronic access will
be made more widely available by the Federal Government within
a five-year time span have prompted the Department to assess
its current state of infrastructure support and explore options
for accommodating these future trends as we move further into
this century. The Universal Telecommunications Network Project
is designed to meet those challenges.
