Customer Profile
The Gendarmerie Nationale is the French national police force
with a military statute.The Gendarmerie Nationale has many
functions, including local policing and criminal investigations, and
military responsibilities such as maritime safety and airport
security.They also participate in important ceremonies, such as
those involving heads of state or government.
In today's complex environment, a defence organization like the
Gendarmerie requires a comprehensive network solution that
replicates best practices, and adapts quickly and easily for
emerging threats.With a range of locations for headquarters and
branch or divisional offices, their network had to provide a secure
infrastructure. It also had to be capable of rapidly disseminating
multiple information types - including voice, video and data -
providing real-time connectivity for maximum mission
effectiveness.
The range and scope of the Gendarmerie operations are ever
increasing, and they can expect to be involved in multiple
simultaneous operations.This requires adaptable and agile forces,
able to deploy rapidly to take on a range of operational tasks.
Customer Requirements
At present, 4300 sites are already equipped with networks,
providing access to the national intranet for 104,000
members of the Gendarmerie.
Resilience is an absolute necessity for the Gendarmerie.
Real time, reliable situational awareness facilitates planning,
and ensures the successful execution of operations.
A considered approach to network security was required in
order to achieve the optimum balance between protection
of information, and the availability of that information.
The Gendarmerie required a flexible and integrated
network solution, allowing their systems to work seamlessly
- without any negative impact on their missions.Their
network had to be scalable in terms of both size and
geographical reach, in order to meet the dynamic needs of
the Gendarmerie.
