Multilink Bulk EncryptionHC-7550

Ever closer networks are being orged between the tactical and strategic

levels o command. The bandwidth requirements or C4I2 systems (Com-

mand, Control, Communication, Computer, Inormation and Interoper-

ability) are increasing accordingly. Broadband multi-channel data trans-

mission plays a more and more signifcant role in this context. At the

same time, the threat rom electronic warare is on the rise. In matters

o inormation security, no distinction can any longer be made between

the tactical and the strategic level. The Multilink Bulk Encryption System

designed or the EUROCOM port delivers this kind o complete protectionby encrypting up to 5 independent data channels with a capacity o up

to 2 Mbps a piece.

and synchronous and proceeds withoutinterruption while the unit is operating.Security management can be done on-line and oine and can be supportedby the computer-based SNMC-7005Security and Network Management Cen-tre. This latter centre also allows the man-agement o devices involving dierent op-

erating modes and applications.

This bulk encryption unit guarantees ahigh degree o connection security intactical communication and resistanceagainst electronic warare with up to 5duplex EUROCOM D/1 channels. Its ex-cellent synchronisation capability allowsit to be used in terrestrial and in direc-tional beam applications even when trans-mission quality is greatly reduced. Thebandwidth is up to 2 Mbps. Multiplexingallows secure data, phone, ax and mes-saging communication in any desired com-bination.The device consists o a base unit withfve slide-in units or separate cipherunits. It meets the highest military stand-ards as regards raw ambient conditions,mechanical stability and EMC protec-tion and can be put to stationary or mo-bile use. With the simple and secure user

interace, the device is also extremely suit-able or use on the ront.The comprehensive security architectureprovides or encryption in a tamper-proosecurity module with secret symmetri-cal algorithms. Key change is automatic
