JITC is the U.S. DoD interoperability certifier, and operational test agency, for Information Technology (IT) and national security systems. JITC provides risk-based test evaluation and certification services, tools and environments to ensure IT capabilities are interoperable and support mission critical needs. All of Tellabs’ OLAN customers benefit from JITC certification because it confirms interoperability in a real-world multi-vendor enterprise LAN environment, from core routers to desk top devices. The JITC testing process also certifies Tellabs for Assured Services LAN (ASLAN) deployments by evaluating Tellabs’ industry leading availability, redundancy and survivability. Under the authority of Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), JITC administers stringent risk management framework criteria through Secure Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) in a public forum. Any of Tellabs’ customers concerned about information assurance, cybersecurity and network security compliance, has full access to Tellabs OLAN’s JITC publicly available test results.
“With JITC certification of SR31, and key components of the Tellabs FlexSym Series solution, the U.S. federal government and armed services, stand ready for future support of cost-effective 10-gigabit PON, and G-PON, both on the same existing infrastructure, providing infinite options, and a graceful migration to higher speed network needs,” said Jim Norrod, Tellabs President and CEO.
