Johnson’s expertise centers on telecom infrastructure procurement, with deep familiarity in network modernization, secure data transport, and mission-critical communications systems. She routinely acquires services related to fiber deployment, microwave and satellite backhaul, SD-WAN architectures, and classified network enclaves, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s mandate to sustain and upgrade the DoD’s global communications backbone.
