Dulles,
VA. July 20, 2005 – Encore Networks,
a developer of Virtual Private Network
(VPN) security solutions, today announced
that Italian service provider Netdish,
has deployed Encore’s VSR-30™ broadband
IP+Legacy routers to provide satellite
backup for terrestrial VPNs and private
networks in remote locations throughout
Europe. If a terrestrial connection becomes
unavailable, the network is automatically
switched to a satellite link via the
VSR-30™ with no transmission delay.
Headquartered in Padova, Italy, Netdish
is a provider of network infrastructure
that offers satellite connectivity solutions,
based on accelerator modem products from
both iDirect and ViaSat, over both private
and public networks. Netdish is the first
satellite network in the North of Italy,
aimed at interconnecting the European
IP backbone with the emerging markets
of the Mediterranean, the Balkans, Eastern
Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
“Netdish has defined and overcome the
challenges of providing converged, satellite
based communications to geographical
areas with inadequate or unreliable network
services,” said Chris Orriss, Encore
Networks European Director of Sales.
“They have opened new markets by deploying
broadband VPN solutions to locations
previously unable to take advantage of
reliable, secure networking, and we are
excited to be a part of it.”
Encore Network’s VSR-30™ enables satellite
users requiring secure end-to-end connections,
to realize the full potential of their
limited satellite bandwidth without the
performance degradation associated with
traditional IPsec VPN products. Through
the use of exclusive patented Selective
Layer Encryption (SLE™), the VSR-30™
provides channel efficient VPN solutions
across Performance Enhancement Proxy
(PEP) based accelerated satellite networks
and seamlessly connects to terrestrial
VPN networks without the need to decrypt
and switch traffic at the satellite hub.
“The secure, end-to-end functionality
of Encore’s VSR-30 directly address the
high performance demands of broadband
satellite networks, and provides immediate
access when a terrestrial link has unexpectedly
gone down,” stated Federico Masier, Netdish
Chief Operation Officer. “Our customers
who need encryption for sensitive data,
no matter the location, are ensured uninterrupted,
secure network access.” |
