Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS)

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4552 · Nokia Corporation · data as of 2026-10-09

Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), from Nokia Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4552 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy. When operated with modules as part of Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) validated to FIPS 140-2 under the same certificate number.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The 1830 PSS is a scalable, next-generation Dense Wave Division Multipexer (DWDM) platform that supports data center aggregation for Ethernet, Fiber Channel (FC) and other protocols. Multiprotocol services can then be dynamically and flexibly transported over metro and long-haul spans, using Tunable and Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (T-ROADMs) for optical wavelengths. The 1830 PSS enables transparent L2 Ethernet or FC and L3 IP services over the optical link.
