mGuard in Satellite Communication

Your Requirements

Whether at sea or in far-flung areas without terrestrial infrastructure: worldwide communication via satellites has evolved from a former luxury good and privilege of a few users to an affordable and indispensable medium for global players and their ventures. You need comprehensive maritime and terrestrial communication capabilities providing you with high-performance access to Internet-based services and state-of-the-art security standards for the transmission of sensitive, confiden- tial information. Unfortunately and in contrast to these requirements, satellite communication by its nature and long latencies can be tapped and is pretty slow unless augmented with additional technologies.

Our Solution

To achieve the necessary security and an improved performance of data transmis- sion despite these properties, Innominate is offering adapted versions of the mGuard portfolio with integrated 3rd-party extensions such as performance enhancing proxies (PEP) to OEMs from the satellite communication industry. Those specialized mGuard devices communicate with completely transparent TCP/IP acceleration through a terrestrial PEP server thereby achieving considerably faster response times when accessing Internet services via satellite. In addition, the integrated mGuard security functions such as virtual private networking (VPN) and firewalling reliably protect your satellite connection through encryption and denial of unauthorized traffic. The option to create portable, USB powered solutions for easy use with mobile satellite terminals in the transparent mGuard stealth mode is particularly attractive.
