Encore Networks and Orbital Data Net Team To Deliver Emergency Satellite Network Service To The State of Louisiana.Orbital Data Net Utilizes Encore's 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. Routers With Selective Layer Encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. To Provide Secure, High Speed Emergency Satellite Connectivity DULLES, Va. -- Encore Networks today announced that Orbital Data Net has selected Encore's VSR-30[TM] Virtual Private Network (VPN) routers for the State of Louisiana's Department of Public Safety emergency backup satellite network. Built in response to the devastation and resulting network outages A network outage is an interruption in availability of a system due to the communication failure of the network. Network outages cost money directly to the organisation (for example Banks, Airlines, Online Transaction companies); or cost money indirectly to customers ISP, experienced during Hurricane Katrina  Editing of this page by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled due to vandalism. , Orbital's satellite network will provide voice and data emergency backup to locations throughout the Gulf region. Post Katrina, communications between police stations, emergency facilities and hospitals were disrupted because many radio towers in the path of the storm could only operate in local mode as the State's terrestrial wide area T-1 circuits were destroyed. To avoid this scenario in the future, Orbital Data developed high-speed 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. services that include secure connections to the State's data center, as well as satellite circuits that support Louisiana's P25 land mobile radio network. The VSAT service includes pre-positioned as well as quick deploy antennas that can easily be supported by one technician who can re-point the antenna system with normal hand tools and without electrical power. By incorporating Encore's VSR-30[TM], with Selective Layer Encryption technology (SLE SLE systemic lupus erythematosus. SLE abbr. systemic lupus erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ), all data transported over the VSAT service is secure and encrypted. "We obviously can't prevent the destruction caused by hurricanes, but we can plan for the inevitable disruption of telecom services by installing satellite systems that are either pre-positioned or quickly deployed. They must also be easy to operate and repair by technicians on the scene under difficult circumstances," stated Greg Heifner, Orbital Data Net 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. . "With Encore's help, we can ensure the reliability and security of emergency communications." Encore Network's VSR VSR Very Short Reach (Ciena/Cisco design for high speed, 10Gbps data) VSR Variable Speed Reversible VSR Very Short Reach (optical interconnection; Sprint) VSR Volume Search Radar [TM] security products are versatile IP only VPN appliances that support VSAT satellite enterprise data networks with IPsec VPN, stateful inspection A firewall technology that ensures that all inbound packets are the result of an outbound request. Also called "stateful packet inspection" (SPI), it was designed to prevent harmful or unrequested packets from entering the computer. firewall, IP routing and QoS and SLE. The ability to perform SLE to IPsec tunnel switching allows satellite operators to provide both end-to-end on-net and off-net VPN solutions over IP without the performance degradation associated with satellite circuits and VPN solutions. "Utilizing a combination of VSR[TM] equipment and the latest VSAT technology, Orbital Data has produced a disaster recovery solution that will expand over time to include even more State emergency facilities along the Gulf," said Matthew Girard, Encore's Director of Satellite Market Development. "We are excited to have been selected by Orbital Data and the State of Louisiana CODE, OF LOUISIANA. In 1822, Peter Derbigny, Edward Livingston, and Moreau Lislet, were selected by the legislature to revise and amend the civil code, and to add to it such laws still in force as were not included therein. and look forward to our continuing involvement in this important public safety project."
