Tyto Athene has entered into an agreement to acquire AT&T Government Solutions which comprises AT&T's Department of Defense IT professional services business and select other contracts.

Tyto Athene is a full-service systems integrator that provides design, installation, and support of complex voice, data, and security networks for customers in the Federal Government, Department of Defense, State and Local Governments, communities, first responders and organizations across the United States and around the globe.

Tyto was created in August of 2018 when Arlington Capital Partners acquired the Government Solutions division of Black Box Corporation.

The combination of Tyto and GSI would create a leading pure-play provider of IT professional services and solutions to critical US Government agencies with positions on best-in-class contract vehicles, a full spectrum of industry leading capabilities, and substantial scale and resources to serve the increasingly complex needs of US Government agencies.

"We are thrilled to announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AT&T GSI and look forward to joining forces with the GSI team. We believe that the cultures of Tyto and GSI are highly complementary as both are focused on delivering superior solutions to the customer and mission," said Chris Meilhammer, President and COO of Tyto Athene.

"We will continue to be poised to benefit from the secular tailwinds of U.S. Government investment in legacy IT modernization and cybersecurity efforts. Tyto looks forward to teaming with AT&T to identify and pursue opportunities in the DoD and beyond."
