Military Application Resilience
Emulating real-world network conditions to verify applications & systems
In modern military operations, network resilience is mission-critical. Whether coordinating tactical units in the field or maintaining strategic communications across international borders, reliable connectivity forms the backbone of effective decision-making and execution.
The role of tactical and strategic networks
Tactical networks ensure seamless communication between platforms operating on land, sea, and air, empowering soldiers to function as interconnected nodes in a broader system. Meanwhile, strategic networks leverage diverse communication mediums—including SATCOM, fibre optics, mobile networks, and DSL—to relay critical information between the front lines and command centres. The integration of these tactical and strategic networks, often involving multinational forces and varying technologies, enables a unified operational approach that can adapt to dynamic mission demands.
Replicate complete tactical networks with software defined test networks
Model realistic tactical Software Defined Test Networks in a controlled environment, including platform-to-platform connectivity, with all combinations of land/sea/air-to-land/sea/air, convoy networks, and meshed or partially meshed networks, with one device- the NE-ONE Network Emulator.
Using the NE-ONE, your test environments can experience everything from perfect ‘fiber-everywhere’ connections, to the lossy, erratic networks of a hostile operational environment, allowing the user to see how performance is affected by any possible environments, and ensure communications are maintained in even the most severe of scenarios.

Network emulation use cases in defence and government:
Ensuring application resilience across multi-domain operations
Test and validate military applications across diverse and challenging network conditions to ensure mission success under any scenario.
Replicate multi-domain networks encompassing land, sea, air, and space communications within a single test environment. Simulate real-world impairments such as latency, packet loss, jamming, and cyberattacks to evaluate resilience under hostile conditions. Identify application limitations by exposing weaknesses in worst-case scenarios, improving reliability and readiness. By replacing expensive live field trials with virtual testing of operational conditions, you can significantly reduce costs while maintaining thorough preparation.
Cyber warfare: Calnex network emulation for advanced cyber range simulations
Modern cyber warfare demands realistic and complex environments to effectively train and test in a Cyber Range. Accurately replicating diverse networks and global conditions is critical for preparing teams for the digital battlefield.
Calnex Network Emulators empower Cyber Range setups to simulate operations from any global location. They enable precise emulation of Round Trip Time (RTT), packet loss, bandwidth constraints, and other network characteristics across multiple technologies, including 5G, 4G, WAN, and DSL. This allows secure and controlled simulation of global cyber threats, ensuring comprehensive preparation for real-world scenarios.
Optimizing soldier touch points: enhancing training quality
Soldier touch points—key interactions with training systems—are vital to delivering realistic and immersive experiences. The quality of these interactions directly impacts the effectiveness of training.
Calnex Network Emulators enable testing against real-world network conditions, such as latency, packet loss, and bandwidth limitations, ensuring training systems perform reliably under any scenario. By optimizing these interactions, soldiers receive consistent, effective training regardless of network conditions, boosting confidence in the equipment and ensuring positive evaluations.
