The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) has issued an approval and certification of Corning’s Everon Software-Defined Local Area Network (SD-LAN) portfolio. Recognized as an Assured Services Local Area Network (ASLAN) by the Joint Interoperability Test Command, this portfolio has been officially added to the DoD’s Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL). The approval allows federal agencies to deploy Corning’s SD-LAN technology, providing a customizable, high-bandwidth network capable of supporting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G connectivity, all while reducing total cost of ownership by up to 50% compared to traditional copper-based networks.
Corning’s Everon SD-LAN portfolio is designed to meet the growing demands of modern defense networks, enabling data-dense applications and seamless integration with existing DoD systems. The technology is especially critical as federal facilities face increasing pressure to upgrade from legacy copper infrastructures, which are inadequate for handling the advanced data streams required for mission success. Corning’s solution offers not only enhanced security through “zero trust” verification but also increased efficiency with a template-based policy system that streamlines audits and updates, ensuring that military and federal agencies are equipped with agile, scalable networks to support their critical operations.
