Siemens & Juniper to Add Sting to Finnish Defence Communications


Current Issue

The Finnish Defense Forces have selected Siemens and Juniper Networks to deploy a backbone network that will integrate the data transmission and communication systems for reconnaissance, surveillance and military command. Siemens Osakeyhtiv will be responsible for the delivery of the Juniper Networks M-series routers, plus Redcell network and service configuration suite of products from Dorado Software and related maintenance.

The Juniper Networks routers are expected to enable the creation of new IP-based services and prevent malicious attacks from compromising data security. At the same time, the transmission network is aimed at offering the flexibility to rapidly respond to the demands imposed by potential crises and network outages. The deployment by Siemens will include Juniper Networks M-series routers, which will serve as the backbone of the network. For network and MPLS service configuration management, Siemens will supply the Redcell software from Dorado Software. Additionally, the multi-year contract provides for training, maintenance and spare parts supply.

Siemens will deliver Juniper M320 and M10i routers to the Defense Forces.

With the new Redcell system, the Defence Forces is expected to get an advanced network and service configuration management system that permits, among other things, secure VPN management of the MPLS network. Redcell also offers a strategic investment as it is designed for a multi-vendor environment and can be used for controlling other network components as well as the M-Series. Similarly, the network management software will offer redundancy.
