World renowned solutions for lawful intercept and cybersecurity
HUBER+SUHNER Polatis provides best-in-class all-optical circuit switching solutions for routing of digital data at any rate and in any format. With the industry’s highest port counts (up to 384x384), POLATIS switches form the heart of network monitoring systems, providing cost-effective connectivity between signal feeds and signal analysis tools for intelligence and lawful intercept solutions. Government organizations worldwide rely on POLATIS switches in their secure, high performance, mission critical network monitoring solutions.
The challenge of cost effectively monitoring network traffic
The networks to be monitored, and the point of intercept, can take on many different forms. The point of monitoring could be at a submarine cable landing station, in a carrier facility, internet exchange or data center, or on a network that is monitored for national security purposes. That location may be unmanned and possibly even remote.
In many of these applications the numbers of fibers to be monitored can be in the hundreds or even thousands. Each of those fibers can be carrying hundreds of gigabytes of traffic which creates a challenge for those tasked to sort through mountains of traffic in order to find specific information of interest.
