Overview

The United States Coast Guard Academy, founded in 1876 and located on the Thames River in New London, Connecticut, is the service academy that educates and commissions officers for the U.S. Coast Guard. Each year roughly 300 cadets enter the academy, and graduates earn a Bachelor of Science degree and a commission as an ensign across fields such as engineering, cyber systems, naval architecture, operations research, and government. As a residential undergraduate institution and a Department of Homeland Security training command, the academy combines the IT demands of a modern university campus with the security expectations of a federal installation.

The academy's technology environment spans classrooms, science and engineering laboratories, simulation and training spaces, administrative offices, athletic facilities, residence halls, and the cadet barracks. Reliable, high-density wireless and resilient wired networking underpin coursework, research, and daily cadet life, while consolidated compute and storage support student information systems, learning platforms, and academic and administrative applications. IT leaders here are continually modernizing aging switches and access points, expanding Wi-Fi coverage, refreshing servers and storage, and aligning network upgrades with DHS and DoD cybersecurity and Zero Trust guidance.

Uniqcli supports this environment by pairing the HPE, Aruba, and Juniper portfolios with the procurement discipline public-sector buyers require. We focus exclusively on government and public-sector customers, source only TAA-compliant product through authorized channels, and provide the quoting, documentation, and post-award support that keep campus projects on schedule and audit-ready.
