2026-05-20

In the realm of modern military communications, the efficient and secure transmission of information is a core enabler of operational command and coordinated effectiveness. As the armed forces deepen their drive toward informationization, diverse services—such as voice, data, and video—demand greater bandwidth, real-time performance, and reliability from communication networks. Traditional communication methods, when confronted with complex battlefield conditions, often suffer from limited bandwidth, inadequate anti‑jamming capabilities, and excessive transmission latency, making it difficult to meet the requirements of integrated multi‑service delivery. In response, fiber‑optic communication technology, with its advantages of high capacity, low loss, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, has increasingly emerged as a key pillar in upgrading military communication networks. This paper focuses on integrated voice, data, and video transmission scenarios within military operations and proposes a fiber‑optic‑based solution. By optimizing network architecture and transmission protocols, the proposed approach seeks to achieve efficient service coordination and robust security, thereby providing reliable technical support for command decision‑making and combat operations.

Plan Description:

This solution comprises one central office site and two remote sites, with ordinary telephones, magneto telephones, audio signals, and Ethernet data transmitted to the remote sites via fiber optic links.

The local office is equipped with two PCM multiplexing devices, each establishing point-to-point links with remote sites A and B. These PCM devices are cascaded through eight E1 optical transceivers, which are used to transmit data over optical fiber.

 

Recommended devices:

Customer‑side equipment: PDH optical transmission unit ZMUX‑100/8*E1 (1 unit), PCM multiplexing units ZMUX‑30 (2 units)

Remote end: PDH optical transmission equipment ZMUX-100/8*E1 (1 unit), PCM multiplexing equipment ZMUX-30 (2 units)

 

During implementation, the unit’s fiber-optic communication solution for voice and video data has demonstrated remarkable adaptability and flexibility. The central office site serves as the core hub for information aggregation and distribution, leveraging carefully configured PDH optical transmission equipment and PCM multiplexers to ensure stable access and efficient processing of diverse service signals. At remote sites, equipment is deployed flexibly in accordance with operational requirements, enabling seamless interconnection with the central office and high‑speed communication. The deployment of a fiber‑optic network not only overcomes the transmission challenges posed by complex terrain inherent in traditional communication methods but also, thanks to its superior anti‑interference performance, safeguards the stability and security of communications. Furthermore, the solution fully accounts for future capacity expansion needs; its modular design facilitates easy upgrades and maintenance, providing long‑term technical support for the unit’s informationization efforts. Overall, this fiber‑optic communication system, with its efficiency, security, and reliability, delivers robust communication support for command decision‑making and combat operations, serving as a key enabler in advancing the unit’s informationization to the next level.
