Federal Communications Commission

AAC provided award-winning comprehensive IT Operations and Engineering support during our 26+ year history supporting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). AAC helped engineer and deploy nearly every technical innovation within the FCC IT infrastructure, including their migration to the cloud. Our support included supporting data centers, central and regional offices, as well as their active COOP site. To date, AAC has successfully provided support to the infrastructure to enable 99 auctions to be successfully executed without a hitch. Auction 97 occurred over 45 days, generated $44B, and netted $41B for the federal government.

AAC performed Application Development used Extreme Programming (XP) (an agile software development framework) to deliver software needed by the FCC under tight congressionally mandated deadlines. XP allowed FCC and AAC developers to deftly respond to ongoing dynamic changes to requirements and priorities. AAC team was able to meet aggressive timelines for delivery of software systems with development managers, development team, analyst team, and FCC personnel working closely and collaborating daily while complying with all applicable FCC development standards, Section 508 compliance requirements, and Federal rules and regulations.

AAC provided Broadband Mapping Services to support the FCC’s requirement to conduct and complete a pilot broadband inventory project (referred to as the “Beta Map”).  The Beta Map project utilized broadband data from two states (or U.S. territories) to develop the Broadband Data Intake and Validation model process that was used to develop the comprehensive nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability of for all 57 U.S. states and territories.  AAC provided support for the development and deployment of the broadband unavailability registry and broadband quality test and database support for all data collected, stored and reported for the National Broadband Map.
