OPTOKON created a number of durable communication products, including network switches, media converters, test equipment and cabling, that withstand the effects of harsh environments.
Deployed around the world and operating in a variety of environments, premier military organizations need effective and reliable communication systems to ensure they are able to coordinate defense efforts and efficiently organize rescue missions. The prevalence of dust, dirt and other elements can cause loss at connection points in high-speed optical networks in the field, ultimately shutting them down. By utilizing expanded beam connectors and hardened cable, along with OPTOKON'S network-equipment technologies, our team developed NATO-certified solutions that withstand the rigors of harsh environments. OPTOKON's innovative design saves in maintenance time by protecting cables and connectors from damage, while yielding savings on replacement cables. Today, OPTOKON's harsh-environment solutions are used in the armed forces of ten countries and by NATO forces in Afghanistan.
