U.S. Federal Government Solutions
Deploy high performance, secure and dependable networks in any environment to support critical missions for federal government civilian and defense departments.
The American people expect their federal government agencies to provide digital technology for new ways of operating and delivering services. The rapid pace of technology change, particularly IoT, enables outcomes that fundamentally change the way governments operate. These transformative changes improve predictive analysis, productivity and increase operational savings.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise provides industry-certified (JITC, TAA, NDcPP, FIPS, DOD APL) network solutions serving Federal government civilian and defense departments. To ensure the federal network infrastructure meets today’s security challenges, ALE supports high level cybersecurity capabilities and advanced, zero trust macro and micro network segmentation. ALE offers ruggedized and durable networking products for harsh environments, a primary reason our Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitches are deployed throughout the U.S. Navy fleet, as well as in civilian networks.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a strategic supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense, has over 100 years of business experience. ALE’s mission is to support all U.S. Federal agencies and departments with secure network solutions that meet or exceed their high standards and offers simple deployment and operation with a low TCO.
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitches have been embedded in federal networks for more than two decades without a single security incident being reported. OmniSwitch is certified for secure networks, secure software, secure supply chain and support for non-carpeted harsh environments for both civilian and DOD departments.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Secure Code
With ALE, network security goes beyond required standards with:
- Secure code
- Software diversification
- Secured delivery of products
ALE’s secure code provides independent third-party verification and validation source code analysis, white box, and black box testing, searching for vulnerabilities in external interfaces. Additional security is provided through software diversification. ALE’s software implements address space layout randomization (ASLR). Each switch boot dynamically generates a unique memory layout.
Products are also securely delivered through the ALE U.S. supply chain process, which enables designation of OmniSwitch models as TAA Country of Origin (CoO) U.S. with all operational software loaded in a U.S.-based facility. Additionally, the company performing the IVV testing retains the AOS code after validation testing and, over a secure connection, is able to provide the software directly to specific USG customers.
