Networked Optical Data Equipment

NODE

Spectrum silent tactical data transport

A portable tactical network bridge that carries standard Ethernet data over lightweight optical fiber instead of a wireless link between positions.

NODE Mission

Increase warfighter survivability.

NODE moves mission traffic through a contained optical path, helping teams separate people from emitters while preserving their digital workflows.

Keep the warfighter connected without making the warfighter easier to find.

Dismounted teams, observation posts, and mobile command elements.

Buildings, streets, windows, rooftops, and hard cover.

Tunnels, facilities, culverts, and covered approaches.

Littoral, pier, vessel, diver, and cable supported paths.

Passive sensing, cameras, unattended systems, and perimeter feeds.

Separated radios, SATCOM, MANET, and network access points.

Modular Topology

Optical transport between compatible user devices, sensors, command systems, and available backhaul.

Field Validation

The test distance was limited by the fiber available, not an observed link failure. Distances beyond this event have not yet been validated.

10 plus km

Reliable single strand optical field link across the longest cable available for the event.

80 Mbps

Observed internet backhaul returned through the fielded link from displaced backhaul equipment.

Zero RF

No RF emission was produced by the optical fiber segment between NODE endpoints.

Successful transport

PLI, CoT, text, imagery, files, recorded and live video, mission data packages, and internet backhaul.

Operator Integration

NODE fits the way operators already move, carry, and communicate.

The operator pictured is equipped with NODE, integrated into a standard loadout and connected to the end user device workflow.

Field feedback continues to shape enclosure, power, interface, and endurance improvements.
