“Ground Control’s
in-depth knowledge of their customer’s
business requirements put them

and implement state-of-the-art
solutions that make sense and exclusively
match their needs”, said Matt Girard,
Encore Networks Senior Director
of Business Development. “Through
Ground Control we will extend our
reach and impact across geographies
and industry verticals including
shipping and utilities”.
The BANDIT™ family
of industrially hardened and commercial
grade IP+Legacy cyber security
appliances contains an integrated
router, firewall, terminal server,
serial-to-IP conversion, legacy
protocol conversion and VPN functionality.
Ideally suited for electric, gas,
oil and water utilities, industrial
plant floors, and transportation
applications, the BANDIT™ ensures
secure, high-throughput data networking
connections directly to cellular,
VSAT or terrestrial networks.
Encore’s entire product
suite contains their patented Selective
Layer Encryption (SLE), which is
an encryption technology that securely
connects satellite networks with
terrestrial Internet links as part
of and end-to-end VPN solution.
The breakthrough architecture of
SLE fully interoperates with satellite
modems from leading vendors and
Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP)
providers. Unlike traditional VPN
solutions, SLE supports optimal
high-speed connectivity over both
TCP and UDP based applications.
Girard continued,
“SLE allows Ground Control to rollout
secure VSAT networks that outperform
other VPN technologies allowing
them to continue to compete effectively
against alternative broadband solutions”.
