The Verizon white paper outlines how dark fiber strengthens Department of Defense (DoD) networks by providing secure, scalable, and private connectivity independent of public infrastructure. Unlike lit fiber, dark fiber can be activated on demand, reducing exposure to cyber threats and supporting classified communications. Its high bandwidth and low latency enable AI-driven defense applications like threat detection, predictive logistics, and autonomous systems. Key use cases include secure C2I networks, AI analytics, satellite and space operations, Zero Trust cybersecurity, and 5G tactical edge connectivity. Dark fiber ensures operational resilience, future-proofs infrastructure, and supports faster, smarter military decision-making.
