 SecNet 54 Radio Module SecNet 54 Ethernet Module
 

 

 

 

 

SecNet 54® is a family of Internet Protocol (IP) communications encryption products designed to keep data, voice and video communications secure. This innovative product suite is based on a modular architecture which allows the user to accommodate a wide variety of scenarios. The SecNet 54 is comprised of two components: an NSA-certified KIV-54 Cryptographic Module (CMOD) that provides all security-critical functions, and an External Module (XMOD) that handles the transport of encrypted data over specific protocols. Its modular design enables the attachment of a variety of XMODs, allowing secure, yet quick and easy utilization of standard communication technologies such as wired 802.3 Ethernet (EM01), wireless 802.11 (RM01) and other protocols. With its versatility, small size, and up to TOP SECRET/SCI wireless and wired communications capabilities, SecNet 54 offers users a cost-effective alternative to traditional, bulky in-line network encryption devices.

Designated as the KIV-54RM01, the SecNet 54 with Radio Module provides a wireless 802.11a/b/g interface and can be configured as an access point, wireless bridge or as an infrastructure or ad-hoc station.  The initial release of SecNet 54 was configured as a secure wireless local area network (SWLAN) device, supporting 802.11a/b/g links up to 54 Mbps and including both CMOD and Radio Module (RMOD) components. In this configuration, SecNet 54 serves as a Type-1, layer 3 SWLAN encryptor that can be utilized for both tactical and garrison/enterprise applications. Additionally, layer 2 encryption is supported on the 802.11a/b/g RMOD, including WPA2 PSK and WPA2 Enterprise (client).

 

Designated as the KIV-54EM01, the SecNet 54 with Ethernet Module is small enough to function as a mobile, single-client INE, yet powerful enough to host numerous classified clients—limited only by bandwidth requirements.  Flexibility for classified network connectivity is provided by dual Red-side and Black-side Ethernet interfaces. Weighing less than one pound, the KIV-54EM01 is significantly smaller than current “micro” INE solutions and supports links up to 100 Mbps.  Its low power consumption enables it to be powered via multiple sources, including small AC power supplies, batteries, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).  A priority-based, smart power supply automatically senses power failures and switches to the next logical power source.

 

Based on a modular architecture, the SecNet 54 family is evolving to support added features and capabilities that previously required the use of additional, separate equipment. The latest capabilities include VPN with NAT-T, permitting unfettered operation in COTS environments. This new release also includes VLAN tag pass-through without the use of Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels. The end result is that SecNet 54 provides even greater value with no increase in physical size or power.

 

SecNet 54 is designed for use by all branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, federal and homeland security agencies, and the intelligence community. SecNet 54 products are Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI) that can only be procured by organizations with COMSEC or DOD DAC accounts.

Scalable Network Technologies Introduces EXata, Breakthrough Emulation Technology for Mobile Wireless Networks

 

 
Scalable Network Technologies, Inc. (SNT),
the leader in wireless network evaluation, announced the introduction of EXata™, an advanced wireless network emulator for test and evaluation of military and commercial on-the-move wireless communication networks.  EXata is breakthrough emulation technology that speeds the development and deployment of mobile wireless systems, and enables new approaches to training military and public safety personnel. 

EXata makes it possible to exercise both equipment-in-the-loop and humans-in-the-loop using “software virtual networks” (SVN’s). Much like the flight simulators used to train pilots, SVN’s provide a robust platform to conduct network testing and operations training with an unprecedented level of realism. SVN’s are capable of interfacing with actual networks, running actual applications, in real time - thus enabling the evaluation of new technologies rapidly and at much lower cost than previously possible.

The technology advancement that enables EXata to deliver this realism is true or real-time emulation - an exact digital replication of a physical wireless network.  Any hardware, software, or human user connected to an EXata SVN is not able to discern a difference between real networks and components and their virtual (emulated) replacements.

Network testing is complex and costly because scientifically rigorous studies require repeated trials. Being able to start and stop trials - as well as pause and modify parameters on the fly - is necessary to efficiently conduct such experiments. EXata SVN’s displace the traditional model of physical testbed evaluation by leveraging the flexibility and low cost of simulation to produce the highly accurate, highly detailed results of a testbed. Furthermore, the EXata SVN can stay in service throughout the lifecycle of the system to provide increasing levels of detail and realism as the project demands.

The EXata product family consists of EXata and a collection of add-on libraries that model various communication protocols. The power of additional processors can be added with a license upgrade. A feature-rich visual development environment allows users to set up models quickly and then run models that present real-time statistics and helpful packet-level debugging insight.

EXata provides out-of-the-box support for quad-core processor systems. It is possible to achieve real-time emulation with the base EXata product. For additional speed-up and scalability through parallel execution, users can upgrade EXata to run on multiples of four processors.

More information including a downloadable demo version of EXata, technical specifications on the product and whitepapers is available on the company website, www.EXata.com.

Smartronix

Radio Data Adapter
Smartronix has developed the Radio Data Adapter (RDA™) cable, a solution that eliminates multiple single function serial cables and replaces them with a single multi-purpose Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable. The capabilities of the RDA cable address current shortfalls in the ability of the operating forces to transfer data throughout the battle space.

Tactical radio users require real-time access to critical command and control (C2) information at all echelons across the battle space. Current C2 systems and software require radio operators to physically reconfigure radio hardware when transitioning from one system to the next. In an environment where lost seconds can mean life or death, stopping to change radio hardware is not effective.

The RDA multi-function cable reduces equipment weight, complexity, and bulk at a fraction of the cost. The RDA is a 4-in-1 USB cable that provides the host computer operating system a method of connecting to a variety of military radios. The RDA is powered from the computer's USB port and presents itself as a multi-port serial adapter. This simultaneously enables three data ports and up to four operational modes: asynchronous data, synchronous data, asynchronous remote, and High Performance Waveform/Point-to-Point Protocol (HPW/PPP).

The ability to run simultaneous software applications requiring both synchronous and asynchronous data transfer modes through the RDA cable has increased the speed and availability of data to all levels of the battle space, thus reducing the kill chain and aiding time-sensitive targeting. By consuming only a small fraction of the power required by PCMCIA card-based system, the RDA cable offers a savings that is truly significant when dependent on batteries. The RDA cable solves the problem of physically having to change cables, decreases equipment weight, saves power, and has been combat proven to work in even the harshest operating environments.

In addition to the lower power, weight, and slimmer profile of the Smartronix RDA cable, this single cable provides a more cost effective alternative to using multiple serial cables each designed to perform only a single function. One multi-function RDA cable replaces four separate cables for approximately one third of the cost.

 

 


The Smartronix RDA cable is battle tested and supports a variety of tactical radios to include the: AN/PRC-117F, AN/PRC-148, AN/ARC-210, AN/PRC-150, AN/ARC-231, AN/PSC-5 and AN/PRC-119E (RT-1523). Additionally Smartronix is currently accepting RDA cable orders to support the newly fielded AN/PRC-152 and AN/PRC-117G.

Syntonics LLC

Syntonics LLC, based in Columbia, Md., announces the FORAX-High Altitude (HA), a new, innovative version of its FORAX RF-over-fiber product. Syntonics is fielding a six-radio aerostat-mounted system that allows communications over LOS obstacles in mountainous terrain and tall buildings in urban settings, while keeping the radios in the CP thereby eliminating operational difficulties in controlling the radios and potential for loss of communications. The radios’ RF signals are transmitted and received over a single optical fiber in the aerostat’s tether. The system places a lightweight communications payload with SINCGARS and EPLRS antennas high aloft on a tethered aerostat, while the six radios remain on the ground in the command post (CP). The airborne antenna provides a communications capability to extend the range of radios and overcome line-of-sight (LOS) obstructions in mountains and urban environment.

The FORAX-HA was successfully tested in a single radio prototype last year at the Yuma Proving Grounds. The FORAX product line, deployed since 2004 by U.S. and foreign militaries, moves antennas away from command posts; eliminates the electronic and visual signature of nearby antennas; increases the security of people and equipment in the CP and enables radios and crypto equipment to be operated from inside SCIFs. This new application for airborne antennas adds another valuable communications tool for the warfighter.

Syntonics recently added HF and GPS capability to its already-fielded SINCGARS, VHF/UHF, and UHF TACSAT modules. Under this contract they will add an EPLRS module. To date, Syntonics has fielded over 200 FORAX links here and abroad. Syntonics expects the FORAX-HA to be useful in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
