Mission-critical WAN for defense
A secure, multiservice wide area network for modern defense operations
Build a high performance communication backbone ready for the cloud and AI era, that drives information superiority from the data center to the battlefield and beyond with the Nokia mission-critical WAN for defense.
Why do defense organizations need new WAN solutions?
Many defense organizations still support their mission-critical operations using proprietary private wide area networks (WANs) made up of siloed technology segments. These disjointed legacy networks create interoperability, maintenance and management issues that significantly increase costs and complexity. Most aren’t built to support the massive data volumes and advanced C4ISR systems that drive modern defense operations.
It's time for defense organizations to upgrade to converged multiservice WANs.
A converged WAN that delivers information superiority
The Nokia mission-critical WAN for defense solution provides a resilient, high-capacity converged WAN that lets you:
- Quickly and securely transport high volumes of multimedia data
- Accelerate the modernization of mission-critical C4ISR systems
- Continue using your existing applications
- Ensure smooth interoperation with allies.
Our multiservice WAN infrastructure includes:
- Best-in-class optical and microwave solutions with native IP service integration to create a high-performance, private digital backbone
- IP/MPLS routing solutions built around our industry-leading FP5 chipset to provide extremely high packet switching performance in the network core
- An embedded and certified cybersecurity framework to protect your network and the data it carries
- A sophisticated management platform to enable automation and cross-layer services.
With our mission-critical WAN solution, you get the communications speed, capacity and security you need to adopt network-centric operations (NCO) and use information superiority to gain a strategic and tactical advantage.
Use cases
Our mission-critical WAN for defense solution delivers the fast, secure and reliable multiservice connectivity you need to support modern defense operations. For example, you can rely on our WAN solution to:
- Securely interconnect military sites and bases across your country
- Interconnect data centers that process intelligence 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
Upgrade to more efficient and effective operations with our converged WAN solution.
Improve mission-critical application performance by ensuring path and delay symmetry and supporting hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) mechanisms.
Increase network resilience by adding functions such as hot standby protection with zero-second interruption at all layers of the IP/MPLS network.
