Optical LAN (POL) for defense
Make military bases smarter with field-proven fiber technologies
Nokia Optical LAN for defense helps military bases provide secure in-building and campus connectivity and reduce costs with a high-speed, resilient and future-proof fiber communication network.
Why do military bases need new communication infrastructure?
As part of their digital transformation, military bases—including headquarters, training camps and forward operating bases—need secure and highly efficient communication networks that will enable them to fully benefit from digital services, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) use cases.
Optical LAN technology for smart military bases
Nokia Optical LAN (POL) technology addresses these needs with a reliable, scalable, secure, high-performance communication infrastructure that can bring your military bases into the digital age.
Our fiber-based LAN for defense overcomes the limitations of copper-based backhaul networks to help you digitalize military base operations today and benefit from reliable connectivity for decades to come. POL makes it easy to manage and maintain your network by reducing the amount of hardware you need. It also provides military-grade security for your critical communications using optical fibers that are harder to tap.
The energy efficiency of our optical LAN technology lowers operating costs and enhances overall network performance. It provides the flexibility you need to support diverse applications, from secure communications to surveillance systems and real-time data processing. This makes it an ideal choice for the demanding and dynamic environment of military bases.
