Reduced Communications Costs through Centralized Management of Multiplex Systems
Abstract
Government communications circuits have proliferated because individual agencies obtain circuitry for their exclusive use. If circuit requirements are consolidated and available technology is exploited, significant savings are possible. The Department of Defense and several civil agencies have developed multiplex systems to replace numerous individual circuits. The multiplex systems have resulted in significant cost savings and service improvements. This report contains recommendations to the Director, Office of Management and Budget, to establish a policy, organizational arrangements, and implementing regulations to ensure that multiplex technology is exploited on a Government-wide basis.
