ViaSat's New Network Encryptors To Boost Secure Networking
Zacks Investment Research | Aug 10, 2016 09:39PM ET
Global broadband services and technology company, ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ:VSAT) pushed the limits of secure networking with two new secure network encryptors, ViaSat KG-250XS and IPS-250X, which are National Security Agency (“NSA”)-certified.
ViaSat is a dominant player in the field of tactical communications networking for classified information, and boasts the lowest size, weight and power (SWaP) rugged Type 1 High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE), which offers the greatest flexibility at the tactical edge.
One of the company’s most recent products, the KG-250XS Network Encryptor is the lowest SWaP, rugged HAIPE IS v4.1 network encryptor. It delivers 20 Mbps speeds, which makes it perfect for Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information applications with size and weight restrictions. Some such applications are tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), telecommuting, executive communications and flyaway kits.
The IPS-250X Network Encryptor is a HAIPE Inline Network Encryptor, which supports the secure exchange of classified information up to the Secret level. Packaged in a low SWaP rugged form factor, the IPS-250X complies with NSA Cryptographic High Value Product non-CCI policy. Thus, it is perfect for high-risk and unmanned environments. The product is intended to protect IP connections among U.S. warfighters, coalition partners and government agencies. It works regardless of deployment location and skips the costly logistics or lifecycle costs related to Controlled Cryptographic Items.
ViaSat has been involved in securing classified information sent over IP and thus, protecting U.S. government, military and defense missions for decades.
