Secure IP networks for federal agencies

Uncompromising performance and resilience

In the ever-changing landscape of U.S. national security, reliable and secure communication networks are the lifeblood of mission success. A single point of failure can have devastating consequences. That’s why U.S. federal agencies require highly reliable, secure IP transport solutions to maintain continuous mission-critical operations.

Nokia fully supports the NSA’s commercial cybersecurity strategy that leverages industry innovation to deliver solutions with efficiency and security and has developed products using both custom and commercial silicon that fulfill the requirements of the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program.

Introducing Nokia Federal IP routing: built for the mission critical edge

Nokia is the market leader in service provider edge routing, offering a range of IP routing solutions specifically designed for mission-critical services. These solutions go beyond traditional routers, delivering unparalleled performance, scalability, and – most importantly – security.

Unveiling the power of secure IP transport

Our solutions offer a robust set of features to ensure your agency’s data is always protected and your network remains operational:

Ironclad security

Integrated AES256 Encryption at Wire Speed: Your data flies through the network securely, protected by the strongest commercial encryption standard.
Control Plane Protection: We safeguard the brains of your network – the control plane – from malicious attacks that could disrupt operations.

Future-proof flexibility

Highly Programmable design: New features and functionalities can be added through software updates, extending the lifecycle of your deployment for a decade or more. This means you can stay ahead of evolving threats without costly hardware upgrades.

Unwavering performance

Dedicated Silicon: We don’t compromise. Our routers are built with specialized hardware designed for high-performance routing, ensuring smooth transmission of critical data.
Deep Buffers: Even under heavy traffic loads, data loss is a non-issue. Deep buffers provide ample space to store information and prevent packet drops.
Integrated Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritize mission-critical traffic for real-time applications like voice and video communication, ensuring flawless performance when it matters most.

Use cases
