Overview

The backbone that keeps surveillance, sensors and operations talking

Vanguard designs and deploys enterprise networks built specifically for security workloads — high-bandwidth video, low-latency control, and zero tolerance for downtime. From edge switches in an outdoor cabinet to redundant core routers in your data centre, the same engineering team delivers it.

  • Hardened industrial-grade switches with extended temperature envelopes
  • Redundant ring and MPLS architectures with sub-50ms reconvergence
  • PoE++, fibre and copper aggregation tuned for surveillance traffic
  • Out-of-band 5G/LTE failover with policy-based traffic steering

Hardware Portfolio

Engineered devices, delivered as one catalogue

Every device in this category is specified, integrated and supported by the same engineering team — not a marketplace of loosely-coupled vendors.

Enterprise Routers

Modular routers for campus and branch with hardware crypto and MPLS support.

Up to 100 G
Network Switches

L2/L3 switches from 24-port PoE++ access to 32×100G aggregation.

Industrial Communication

Hardened DIN-rail switches for outdoor cabinets, substations and transit.

Secure Communication

Encrypted radio and IP voice for tactical and operations teams.

Wireless Devices

Wi-Fi 7 access points, point-to-point links and mesh radios.

Networking Infrastructure

Racks, cabinets, structured cabling and fibre plant — single accountable vendor.

Data Transmission Systems

Long-haul fibre, microwave and 5G/LTE backhaul for distributed sites.

Communication Integration

Unified comms across radio, IP and PSTN with policy-driven routing.

Capabilities

Built for the workloads your operators actually run

High reliability

Redundant control planes, dual power and sub-50ms ring failover.

Secure connectivity

MACsec line-rate encryption, 802.1X NAC and zero-trust segmentation.

Enterprise scalability

Designs that grow from a single site to a global multi-region estate.

Industrial deployment

Extended-temperature, shock and vibration-rated hardware for outdoor and trackside.

High-speed transmission

100/400G uplinks ready for 4K/8K video aggregation and AI inference traffic.

Redundant architecture

No single point of failure — power, fibre, route and provider diversity.

Software & Platform

Network telemetry surfaces inside Gilead Command alongside the security workloads it carries.
