Service Distribution within the Base

Existing copper infrastructure is ideally suited for distributing services to multiple sites within a military base, being inherently more secure than wireless and more cost-effective, as well as faster to deploy than fiber. The ability to combine multiple pairs brings both redundancy and scalability, while the Actelis MetaASSIST™ management system provides the sophisticated security and configuration functions demanded by a modern military network. The ability to authenticate users individually with three levels of privilege at the physical network layer gives a sound framework for building higher level policy based security.

Typically, a military network or data center would connect to a local copper-based distribution network through an Actelis ML600 Ethernet Access Device (EAD) via a switch. Then at individual sites within the base, the distribution network would break out into circuits from a matching ML EAD and on through a switch or router to LANs serving local applications.
