Federal Engineering's corporate headquarters in Northern Virginia is only minutes from the Nation's Capital. These facilities, strategically located in the Communications Capital of the United States, support our technical and professional personnel with a wealth of library materials, automated design tools, and a dedicated staff.

Numerous organizations have selected Federal Engineering, Inc. to attain the maximum benefits from the diverse choices available in today's deregulated communications industry. FE's certified independence ensures that our clients receive totally objective analyses, free from the influences of hardware vendors, software suppliers, and service providers. Because we are not a common carrier or equipment manufacturer, our designs are not biased toward any particular technology, product, or approach. However, since our professionals have worked for common carriers or equipment manufacturers, our solutions embody practical, real-world experience. The result is the most cost effective solution to our clients' communications needs.

FE has also gained, through our extensive work with common carriers, insights into emerging services that are not yet be widely available. Likewise, our work in product and business planning has afforded us previews of the future technologies. Our close working relationships with the FCC and multiple state regulatory bodies enable us to project, with a high degree of confidence, legislative direction and its probable impacts on telecommunication industry and the end user community.

We at Federal Engineering believe that our firm is uniquely qualified to go beyond the technical issues in advancing a client's communications facilities and services. We are particularly sensitive to the intricacies of dealing with non-technical executive management and government administrators. Federal Engineering personnel have provided expert testimony to state bureaus and have appeared before the U.S. Congress, many governors, the elected representatives of several states, and a host of local government councils. Only through such extraordinary experience can a consulting firm develop the sophistication necessary to combine economic and technical issues into a politically palatable form.

FE's efforts are further enhanced by our strong commitment to a close working relationship with our clients. Federal Engineering's systems, procedures, and management techniques are designed to continually reinforce this close relationship with a client base that stretches across the country. FE makes extensive use of FEClientNet, a productivity enhancement tool, for the mutual benefit of our clients and professional staff. FEClientNet is an Internet information resource for timely exchanges between client and consultant and among the engagement staff for internal communications. FEClientNet facilitates web-enabled program management through a broad range of capabilities including real-time reporting of status and information, a repository for program documents, and a rapid and efficient method of collecting information. FEClientNet is a proven, effective means for eliminating the cumbersome aspects previously associated with working at a distance.

FE is a corporate affiliate of the National Association of State Telecommunications Directors (NASTD), the United State Distance Learning Association (USDLA), the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), and the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO). We actively support these organizations and, through them, have gained extraordinary insights into the specific communications needs of their members.
