extensive security measures, such as Access Control Lists, Broadcast Datagram Rate Limiting, and strong authentication across the physical, data, and user port layers to prevent malicious activities. PON technology is a versatile communication platform that supports video, voice, and data transmission from a single network. It is also designed to be resistant to electromagnetic interference, a critical advantage in military environments. By adopting PON technology, the Department of Defense can optimize its limited resources and protect critical information from potential adversaries. Therefore, PON technology represents an excellent opportunity for the military to enhance its communication capabilities while also safeguarding its networks. A Call to Action: Prioritizing PON Adoption To assume a leadership position in the field of sustainable networking and fulfill its green energy goals, the DoD must continue its focus on prioritizing the adoption of PON technology. It presents an affordable option for increasing equipment lifespan, and it enables the prioritization of future military construction projects through periodization. To ensure successful implementation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough assessment of PON technology’s long-term expenses, scalability, maintenance costs, and compatibility with current systems. Additionally, optimizing the benefits of this technology requires a well-managed application portfolio that utilizes the Six Step Process for Application Rationalization. Service providers have already widely adopted PON technology, making their local area networks more secure, reliable, and cost-effective. It can save up to 30-50% in capital costs and 50-70% in operational costs while improving network infrastructure, services, reliability, and speed. It also supports various applications like voice, video, wireless access, security, surveillance, building environmental controls, and automation using Power over Ethernet. By adopting PON technology, the DoD can align its telecommunications technology and environmental sustainability goals and gain a competitive edge. It can position itself as a pioneer in establishing a secure and efficient communications infrastructure that is technologically and environmentally sustainable and resilient. The DoD can also draw upon successful use cases and best business practices in the civilian and military arenas to maximize cost-effectiveness and results, potentially benefiting both sectors. Having served as an Army communications battalion commander who has seen the technology's effectiveness in an operational environment, I strongly recommend that the DoD prioritize the adoption of PON. Its passive architecture simplifies infrastructure and lowers maintenance costs, while its inherent security benefits will protect sensitive military data. This move will not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute to climate resilience. The DoD has a unique opportunity to revolutionize our understanding of sustainable networking by adopting PON technology, so it is crucial to urge the DoD to do so. Once implemented, the use of PON will enable each service component to create a brighter, more sustainable future and lay the groundwork for 2035 and beyond.
