Supporting the Future of Defense Technology

Supporting the Future of Defense Technology

At Corning Optical Communications, we take pride in our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for secure and robust communication networks. Our Fiber to the Edge (FTTE) products play a pivotal role in supporting the Department of Defense (DoD) and its mission to enhance network capabilities.

Corning is dedicated to advancing defense technology by promoting the integration of cutting-edge technologies. This commitment extends to ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections for critical operations, security, and resilience across various applications. Reliable network capability is vital for the success of initiatives, safeguarding sensitive data, and adapting to the dynamic landscape of technology in defense.

The Defense Industrial Base is using fiber to drive modernization. DoD must do the same

Our NextGen Data Transport Architecture, built with fiber, enables the Base of the Future to support virtually unlimited data loads and mission requirements with no need for refreshes. Here’s why our solution stands out:

  • Existing copper infrastructure cannot support increasingly data-dense military applications and weapons systems.
  • Current DoD networks are being swamped, with bandwidth constraints growing exponentially.
  • Copper is a limiting factor beyond 10 Gbps and will inhibit future mission growth.

Corning’s data transport architecture is specifically designed for higher bandwidth requirements, security, flexibility, and lower cost – exactly what DoD requires.

Corning is proud to announce that our state-of-the-art Assured Services Local Area Network (SD-LAN) portfolio of products has been approved on the Department of Defense Approved Products List

Our SD-LAN solutions represent the cutting edge of network technology, providing the DoD with secure, scalable, and adaptable network infrastructure. With Corning's SD-LAN, the DoD can rely on advanced solutions that enhance mission-critical operations, bolster security, and ensure seamless adaptability in an ever-changing landscape of defense technology. Explore our DoD-approved SD-LAN products to discover the future of network capabilities and security.
