Federal agencies and U.S. military can procure Patton’s high-quality network equipment, made in the U.S.A., from the GSA schedule easily and cost-effectively, thanks to Computerware’s exclusive government discounts and longstanding customer relationships.
Gaithersburg, MD and Vienna, VA: Patton—the leader in business and carrier-class network access, connectivity, VoIP and triple-play equipment—and Computerware—authorized Federal Government contract supplier of computer products and services—announce today a strategic collaboration that provides Patton products to the Federal Government and U.S. Military via the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule.

The GSA listing for Patton is #GS-35F-0887R.
The collaboration makes it easy and cost-effective for U.S. military and federal government agencies to procure Patton’s made-in-the-USA networking equipment and IT solutions using the convenient online tool
GSAAdvantage (www.gasadvantage.gov).
Chip Evans, President of Computerware said, “Computerware is pleased to offer Patton’s IT and networking solutions through GSA Advantage. The equipment is highly reliable and locally manufactured, so our collaboration should provide a welcome stimulus to the D.C. metropolitan economy."
Incorporated in 1984, Patton’s world headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a Washington D.C. suburb. Patton’s product catalog features over 1,000 network access and connectivity solutions, including
CopperLink™ Ethernet Extenders,
IPLink™ WAN access routers, and
EtherBITS™ device servers, plus interface converters, short-range modems, multiplexers, surge protectors and many others.
Operating in northern Virginia since 1976, Computerware is an official U.S. GSA schedule contract supplier that extends exclusive discounts on hardware and software to government customers.
“Patton is intensifying our focus on the government space,” said Bobby Patton, President and CEO of Patton Electronics. “We are especially excited to serve the security needs of military and federal institutions with mobile video surveillance and intelligence solutions.”
Patton’s Visuality™ product line is a recent addition to the company’s extensive product portfolio. The mobile video surveillance solutions provide such services as VIP protection, real-time situational awareness and intelligence gathering—mission-critical functions for many federal agencies.
Chip Evans continues, “Computerware appreciates such responsive partners as Patton who provide the excellent support and aggressive product line pricing our Government customers are looking for.”
Earlier this year, Patton's SmartNode™ 4961 PRI VoIP Gateway won the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Product of the Year for the Fourth Consecutive
Year.
Patton named a new CEO on 1 January 2009, the company’s
silver
anniversary.
