Automated PACE control for resilient, mission-critical tactical communications
Nokia Agile Switch is Nokia Federal’s automated Primary-Alternate-Contingency-Emergency (PACE) control software for Android User Equipment (UE). It automatically transitions communications traffic between available network paths to help maintain mission communications across operational environments.
Designed for tactical operations, Agile Switch supports LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet* and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks* (MANET), reducing the need for manual network switching and helping ensure access to mission-critical applications and data.

Why Agile Switch?
Tactical communications environments are dynamic. As personnel move across an operational area, network availability and connection quality can change.
Agile Switch continuously monitors available network paths and automatically transitions traffic based on user-defined priorities, helping maintain connectivity and support mission continuity.
Key capabilities
Automated PACE communications
Automatically transitions between available communications networks to support resilient tactical communications.
Connectivity awareness
Monitors active network connections and connection status in real time.
User-defined network prioritization
Allows operators to configure preferred network connections based on mission requirements.
4
Flexible operations
Supports both automatic and manual operation.
5
Broad network compatibility
Supports LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet*, and MANET*-enabled communications environments.
6
ATAK support
Agile Switch supports Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) deployments by helping maintain connectivity for mission applications, position location information (PLI), and data sharing across available communications networks.
7
Tactical communications resiliency
Agile Switch extends communications resiliency from the network to the user device. Combined with Nokia’s tactical private wireless solutions, it helps support command and control, situational awareness, mission applications, and data exchange at the tactical edge.
