Defense agencies deploy and operate sophisticated, global communications networks that must perform under the most extreme conditions and against a constantly changing set of operational and security demands.

These requirements can seem contradictory at times – robust yet agile; secure yet flexible; complex yet easy to manage. Meeting these demands and achieving the availability, delivery, and security of information and infrastructure – all at the lowest possible cost – is a serious challenge.

TM Forum’s Defense Initiative helps defense agencies overcome these challenges by bridging the gap between commercial experience and the unique demands of defense communications.
