Defense leaders face new challenges securing missions and maintaining reliable connectivity across today’s complex Indo-Pacific environments. That’s the conversation at the heart of AFCEA TechNet Indo Pacific 2025, returning this year with the theme: “Sword & Shield: Ensuring a Secure, Free, and Prosperous Indo-Pacific.” From October 28-30, 2025 at Hawai’i Convention Center, top military, government, and industry experts will gather to explore the technologies and strategies that address the region’s evolving connectivity and security needs.
Visit Cisco at Booth #1222, where we’ll spotlight solutions designed for digital resiliency, secure network connectivity, and AI-driven NetOps, as well as speaker sessions and receptions throughout the week. Here’s what you can expect:
Demos
Digital Resiliency
See how Cisco’s secure networking solutions—such as Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN and Cisco Secure Firewall—empower US & Coalition Forces to maintain mission operations in the harshest conditions. This demo demonstrates how automated path selection, bandwidth optimization, and rapid failover keep communications online in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited bandwidth (DDIL) environments.
Secure Network Connectivity
Experience how Cisco’s integrated security portfolio—including Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Secure Network Analytics, and SD-Access—delivers end-to-end protection for critical missions across ships, bases, and remote operations. The demo highlights how zero trust access, multi-factor authentication, and encrypted traffic analytics safeguard sensitive data and ensure only authorized users and devices connect to critical networks, no matter where the mission takes you.
AI-Driven NetOps
Explore how Cisco Catalyst Center and Splunk leverage AI and advanced analytics to transform US & Coalition Forces network operations. Our demo shows how these platforms provide real-time visibility, predictive insights, and automated incident response—enabling IT teams to optimize performance, rapidly troubleshoot issues, and stay ahead of emerging cyber threats across sea, land, air, and cloud environments.

Recently, I wanted to explore modular home options and came across modular homes for sale. I found several interesting models in Leeds and Bristol. The website is conveniently structured: you can immediately see the floor plans, cost and materials. I was impressed by how detailed the descriptions of each home are — this helps you make an informed choice.
