Verizon says military network security must be built in from day one
TL;DR: Verizon's Lamont Copeland said at the Defense Communications Forum in May 2026 that military network security should be designed into the network from the start rather than added later. He also discussed matching network modalities to mission needs and modernizing time-division multiplexing (TDM) systems in stages.
Verizon's Lamont Copeland said at the Defense Communications Forum in May 2026 that military network security should be built into network design from the start, not added after deployment. He made the comments in an interview with RCR Wireless' Sulagna Saha published on May 18, 2026.
Copeland said military network design should assign different communications modalities to different missions. The source describes this as matching network approaches to mission requirements rather than using a single model for every defense communications need.
Copeland also discussed modernizing time-division multiplexing (TDM), a method that divides a communications channel into time slots, in incremental steps. The source says he argued for modernizing TDM "in bites" rather than replacing legacy systems all at once.
