Stronger Border Operations with Optical Networking
Optical networking delivers the strength required for today’s border environments, offering clear advantages over traditional networks while lowering long-term operational costs.
Why Agencies Choose Optical Networking
- Enhanced Security: Fiber reduces attack surfaces, eliminates electrical interference, and resists eavesdropping. Optional tamper-resistant cabling adds protection for mission-critical deployments.
- Reliable in Harsh Environments: Designed to perform in extreme temperatures, moisture, and high-interference areas where uptime is essential.
- Long-Distance Coverage: Supports extended reach across large border areas while reducing the need for multiple network hubs.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Requires less cabling and hardware, with reduced CapEx and OpEx and a longer service life than copper networks.
- Supports Advanced Security Applications: Provides the bandwidth and low latency needed for surveillance systems, biometrics, IoT sensors, AI-driven analytics, and next-generation wireless.
