Future plans

As part of the ongoing infrastructure update, there are plans

to add additional capabilities in the future, such as Power

over Ethernet (PoE) and IPv6, to keep the Gendarmerie's

network at the leading edge.

Incorporating Power over Ethernet

Included in the Allied Telesis product range are devices that

support the IEEE 802.3af protocol PoE. PoE is ideal for

powering a vast array of computing devices over existing

LAN cables, without the need for separate power

connections. PoE provides benefits such as cost-saving,

simplicity of installation and high availability. Common uses

are for wireless access points and VoIP phones.

Evolving from an IPv4 to IPv6 network

Allied Telesis have taken a proactive approach to supporting

the IPv6 evolution, enabling future-conscious customers like

the Gendarmerie Nationale to purchase equipment that will

evolve with them as they move towards IPv6. Today, Allied

Telesis' routers and Layer 3 switches provide comprehensive

software support for IPv6. They support the full

implementation of IPv6 networking and facilitate the

transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

IPv6 will ensure that the Defence Information Environment

can meet the requirements of its users both now and in the

future. IPv6 has features and functions that can allow users

of the Defence Information Environment to manage

information in ways that are not possible using IPv4.

The large address space, inbuilt security and mobility

functions offered with IPv6 will be important enablers for

information sharing amongst future defence forces. Seamless

information exchange is a vital capability in today's

environment, and any breakdown of the information

exchange mechanism between the defence forces has the

potential for catastrophic consequences. With

communication becoming increasingly IP-based, transitioning

to IPv6 will ensure both improved functionality and ongoing

reliability.
