DALLAS, Dec. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tellabs, a long-standing leader of Passive Optical Networking (PON) solutions, along with Network Runners, Inc., a top Value Added Solutions Provider of niche Information Technology solutions, today announced they will partner to showcase military-grade network solutions that improve IT physical infrastructure defensibility at the Charleston Defense Contractors Association (CDCA) Defense Summit, on December 11-12, 2019, at booth 105.
Tellabs Optical LAN government solutions play vital roles in providing a more secure network inside buildings and across extended campus, enabling security policies and procedures to be implemented consistently, with fewer human errors and across a more reliable network. Furthermore, Passive Optical LAN has the distinction of being one of the technologies offering promise to US Department of Defense as cited in the DoD Digital Modernization Strategy Plan for FY19-23, because it offers:
- Lower network infrastructure, operational and maintenance costs
- Saves space with smaller, higher-capacity, single mode fiber cable
- Extends high-speed connectivity further (>20 kilometers)
- And, fiber cabling is far more secure than copper cabling
Network Runners provides solutions to Federal government agencies and organizations through its Women Owned, Small Disadvantaged business contracts and can provide tailored and scalable integration solutions through its Seaport NxG, GSA 8(a) STARS II, GSA Schedule 70, and GSA PSS (Professional Services Schedule) contracts. Network Runners’ IT systems integration capabilities can help ensure that agencies and organizations can quickly implement and realize the benefits of secure networks with lower infrastructure, operational and maintenance costs.
“We are excited to co-exhibit at this year’s CDCA Defense Summit with our partner, Tellabs, and we will feature their Passive Optical Network (PON) solutions,” said Manoj Bhatia, president and co-founder of Network Runners. “As an economically disadvantaged, women-owned small business (EDWOSB) based in Virginia, Network Runners has extensive experience and broad expertise in delivering customized solutions to the DoD and its Civilian customers.”
“It’s important for us to educate the CDCA Defense Summit attendees on how Passive Optical LAN infrastructure can remove points of vulnerability from a military grade network, thus reduce device and the operational attack surface of a network - less surface is easier to manage and defend against cyber security threats,” said Tom Parisi, Vice-President Government Sales for Tellabs. “We look forward to collaborating with Network Runners at the CDCA Defense Summit to connect government organizations and contractors with appropriate solutions and contract vehicles.”
