Optimize Network Access at the Tactical Edge with Software Defined Wide Area Networking

More than ever, data for situational awareness (SA) and key communications is located in one or more cloud systems. The DoD is actively looking to aggregate and distribute this information through programs such as the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) strategy and the associated efforts of the U.S. Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), the Army’s Project Convergence and the Navy’s Project Overmatch. However, all this data is useless if the WAN is down or unavailable—a situation far too common in denied, degraded, intermittent or limited (DDIL) communications environments.

Software Defined Wide Area Networking can help address the connectivity challenges and provide access to critical data and networks rapidly and reliably, even in the most isolated and austere environments. Software Defined Networking, deployed to the tactical edge, can ensure that you automatically make the most of the transport options that are available in any given location, such as SATCOM, 4G/5G or even fixed infrastructure without relying on predefined PACE (Primary, Alternate, Contingent, Emergency) plans.

Availability is a key part of cybersecurity. Join Chris Ernst, Systems Architect at Cisco Systems and Dominic Perez, CTO at Curtiss-Wright, in this educational webinar exploring how cutting-edge SD-WAN technologies can ensure that you have the fastest and most reliable access to your data.
