scope:

Purpose of this order. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is committed to improving the management and cost efficiency of its cellular and satellite communication services used by FAA personnel nationwide. To take advantage of economies of scale and thereby provide these services at a substantially reduced cost, the FAA has centralized the procurement of non-secure devices and secured and non-secured services. This order implements the new structure for the delivery of these services and the requirements for the National Wireless Program (NWP) operations. This order also describes acceptable use practices for users of cellular and satellite devices.
