The Future of Secure Network Mobility

Enabling network mobility for command posts and vehicles has many challenges – including setup and tear down time, power and fuel constraints, size constraints and environmental extremes. Wireless technologies can play a critical role in enabling mobility, but the added security requirements to deploy wireless based networking conflict with goals to reduce the size, weight and power of deployed equipment.

To meet these conflicting demands, future programs are starting to look to small form factor networking and communications equipment – delivering more capability to the edge, while reducing SWaP and standing up to punishment.

 

The webinar will include:

  • Security requirements, architecture and leading technologies enabling secure Wi-Fi for mission communications.
  • NSA-approved (CSfC) architectures enabling Wi-Fi for use on classified network in the battlefield.
  • How to save Size, Weight and Power and withstand environmental extremes in tactical wireless deployments.
  • Managing the added complexity of secure wireless for the warfighter.
