About GSA
Heartland (6) Network Services

Local Telephone Services

GSA manages voice and data systems for federal agencies in most government-owned and leased buildings in major cities. A variety of advanced voice communications (dial tone) and data transmission facilities are offered to federal agencies on a common-user basis. Most importantly, GSA can help you through the maze of technological options available.

Agencies can save significantly due to large scale government volume pricing. Common-user features such as three-way calling, call forwarding, call pickup, hunt groups, and call transfer are just a few of the many types of features available at GSA consolidated locations.

Advanced communications services such as audio and video teleconferencing, automatic call distribution, voice mail, facsimile, fiber optics, data transmission, protocol conversion and modem pooling are becoming available at major metropolitan locations.

Long Distance Telephone Services

Long distance service to all 50 states as well as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam is provided to federal agencies and Department of Defense agencies through telecom services contracts at rates much lower than most commercial customers pay. Switched and private line service can be provided for all of your voice, data, and fax needs. Long distance service to international locations are also provided.
