Corning Fiber for Federal Applications: Network & Data Security

When it comes to maintaining critical networks for the federal government, ensuring reliable connectivity is crucial. To safeguard the systems that uphold the country's operations and security, it is essential for networks to be established on a strong, trustworthy infrastructure that supports system integrity, security, and longevity.

Continue reading below for reasons how Corning's modern fiber optic infrastructure solutions can protect government IT facilities.

1. Capacity for the Future

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for modern network infrastructure is being fueled by high-bandwidth applications like AI and machine learning. To ensure secure, scalable connectivity, government facilities are encouraged to consider adopting Fiber to the Edge (FTTE) networks, which offer faster installation, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility to meet changing bandwidth needs. These solutions are essential for enhancing security and operational efficiency in government environments.

2. Faster Insights into Integrity

Federal agency networks maintain rigorous integrity standards for sensitive data, essential for national security. Corning's Software-Defined Local Area Network (SD-LAN) portfolio is approved by the Department of Defense for secure, adaptable solutions. Compliance requirements, overseen by the Committee on National Security Systems, are effectively addressed with fiber infrastructure and monitoring devices to prevent tampering and disruptions.

3. Higher Resistance to Interference

Fiber optic cabling provides enhanced security in government facilities due to its immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and increased difficulty for hackers to access. This results in a reduced risk of interference and improved network integrity when compared to copper cabling.

4. Simplified Connection Security

Corning offers a range of fiber products tailored for high-security government applications, including clear connector labeling with 12 colors for different classification levels. Keyed connectors and the Multiclassification Mesh Solution streamline security measures and reduce cabling by up to 75%, meeting evolving government needs.

The End-To-End Advantage

Corning offers a complete end-to-end solution for federal government fiber infrastructure, eliminating the need to piece together systems from multiple manufacturers. Their dedicated federal government sales team is experienced in federal systems and procedures, providing tailored proposals and backed by a 25-year warranty.
