Federal agencies can use Corning technology to build a customizable high-bandwidth network to enable artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity, and more
CORNING, N.Y. (NYSE:GLW) - Corning Incorporated announced today the U.S. Department of Defense's approval and certification of its Corning Everon® Software-Defined Local Area Network portfolio (SD-LAN) as an Assured Services Local Area Network (ASLAN) by the Joint Interoperability Test Command. The portfolio has been added to the Department of Defense's Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL).
Compatible with other DOD systems, this portfolio enables data-dense applications and streamlined installations, with the capability to evolve as network needs grow. Federal agencies can reduce up to 50% in total cost of ownership compared to a copper-based legacy network, all while achieving a secure and scalable network.
"Current legacy copper infrastructure in most federal facilities simply cannot support future data streams at the speed required for mission success. The rapidly evolving digital capabilities in United States military systems and equipment cannot be hindered or restricted by the limitations of supporting infrastructure which could take years to upgrade," said Robert Basile, Global Market Development Director, Corning Optical Communications. "Corning's DoDIN APL certification reinforces our commitment to providing solutions for the design and engineering of federal facilities and future networks."
The Corning Everon® SD-LAN portfolio is an especially vital technology given that high-bandwidth applications, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 5G connectivity, are now essential to U.S. national security and other federal missions. Increasingly, agencies and facilities demand an agile network that can adapt in real time and support critical emerging technologies.
Further, Corning's advanced network orchestration provides seamless visibility and "zero trust" consistent verification of users, devices, and applications, delivering greater efficiency and more secure operations. A key benefit of Corning's SD-LAN technology is its easy-to-use, template-based policy system, which can accelerate system audits and updates.
