Viasat Delivers the Fastest, Most Flexible Type 1 Cloud Communication Network Encryptor
Viasat Upgrades Its KG-142 Network Encryption Device With Enhanced Speed and Flexibility to Support the Move to Cloud-Centered Solutions
The KG-142 is designed to protect top secret/sensitive compartmented information for government agencies for very high-bandwidth applications, such as cloud computing and big data processing – delivering reliable, network-efficient protection for Layer 2 Ethernet communications. Added flexibility available on the KG-142 will allow customers to operate up to 32 simultaneous peer-to-peer connections over one to four 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) or one 100Gbps Ethernet channels, increasing bandwidth and reducing overall life cycle cost. In addition, the KG-142 is field-upgradable to meet evolving interoperability standards and mission demands.
“Upgrades to our KG-142 network encryptor will deliver the speed and flexibility needed to ease migration to cloud-centered solutions and dramatically enhance network security for government and defense agencies operating around the globe,” said
