Converged WAN solution for defense
Secure, multiservice optical, microwave and IP/MPLS infrastructure for network-centric operations
Overview
Many defense organizations are still using proprietary, private WANs that are comprised of siloed technology segments to support mission-critical operations. These disjointed, legacy networks create interoperability, maintenance and management issues that significantly increase costs and complexity. And they aren’t necessarily built to support the massive data volumes and advanced C4ISR systems that are central to modern defense operations.
The Nokia Converged WAN solution gives defense organizations a converged, high-capacity and resilient WAN they can use to:
- Quickly and securely transport high volumes of multimedia data
- Accelerate mission-critical C4ISR systems modernization
- Continue using existing applications
- Smoothly interoperate with allies
The converged, multiservice WAN infrastructure uses:
- Best-in-class optical and microwave solutions with native IP services integration to create a high-performance, private digital backbone.
- IP/MPLS routing solutions that include Nokia’s industry-leading FP5 chipset to provide extremely high packet switching performance in the network core
- An embedded and certified cybersecurity framework to protect the network and the data it carries
- A sophisticated management platform to enable automation and cross-layer services
With the Nokia Converged WAN solution, defense organizations have the communications speed, capacity and security they need to adopt network-centric operations (NCO) and turn new levels of information superiority into a strategic and tactical advantage.
Use cases
The Nokia Converged WAN solution gives defense organizations the fast, secure and reliable multiservice WAN they need to support a wide variety of use cases. Here are just a few examples:
- Securely interconnect your military sites and bases across your country,
- Interconnect your data centers, that process intelligence received from the field
- Connect border surveillance systems to command and control centers
- Turn your critical subsea communications cables into highly sensitive sensors
Benefits and features
With the Nokia Converged WAN solution, defense organizations can upgrade to more efficient and effective operations:
Improve application performance by ensuring path and delay symmetry for mission-critical applications
Assure performance for mission-critical applications with hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) mechanisms
Increase resilience with hot standby protection with zero-second interruption, and other resiliency functions, in all layers of the IP/MPLS network
Increase network and data security with cybersecurity functions and quantum safe encryption solutions that meet stringent defense requirements
Get more from existing investments by continuing to use existing applications with the appropriate quality of service (QoS)
Simplify network management with fast provisioning and intuitive, optimized management across multiple network domains and layers
Optimize use of network resources with support for traffic engineering and isolation at very granular levels
Reduce costs by using less overall bandwidth and simplifying network management
Protect critical subsea communication cable and monitor activity around them with distributed acoustic sensing
