Encore Networks Expands Its Family Of Rugged EVDO Enabled Broadband Security Products.Designed For Industrially Hardened Applications, the BANDIT-II[TM] IP+Legacy Router Meets The High Performance Network Demands Of Harsh Environments DULLES, Va. -- In response to customer need for advanced cyber security solutions that perform reliably under harsh environmental conditions and also provide advanced networking features expected in corporate offices, Encore Networks today announced the BANDIT-II[TM], a rugged IP+Legacy router with high-speed, low-latency EVDO capabilities. As a more compact version of the previously announced BANDIT-III[TM], Encore's environmentally hardened router designed for SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. and other rugged network environments; the BANDIT-II[TM] is a fully featured integrated router complete with firewall, terminal server, serial-to-IP conversion, legacy-to-IP conversion and VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. functionalities. The EVDO capabilities of the BANDIT-II[TM] can be utilized in either the primary or failover network port. The seamless cellular failover feature is ideally suited for Disaster Recovery applications. Designed for use in harsh environments such as those found in gas, oil and water/waste operations, power distribution substations, refineries, industrial plant floors, mobile transportation and traffic control applications, the BANDIT-II[TM] ensures secure, high throughput data networking connections directly to cellular, VSAT (Very Small Aperture satellite Terminal) A small earth station for satellite transmission that handles up to 56 Kbits/sec of digital transmission. VSATs that handle the T1 data rate (up to 1.544 Mbits/sec) are called "TSATs. or terrestrial networks. The BANDIT-II[TM] supports private or public digital facilities, MPLS-based IP services and other broadband services including DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary , Cable Modem, Metro Ethernet and Fiber. "Requirements for secure, critical infrastructure networks have become a national issue of paramount importance," stated Peter Madsen, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Encore Networks. "The BANDIT II reinforces our commitment to provide communications solutions with a number of options for advanced network infrastructure in the most demanding environments."
