HIGH PERFORMANCE VPN OVER SATELLITE

Line Access introduces new technologies that allows for the best possible VPN connection over a satellite network. If you are new to satellite communication, you will learn that using a VPN over satellite will exhibit considerable performance and speed loss issus due to the nature of satellite communication.

Line Access has two VPN solutions that will eliminate VPN performance issues over satellite.

VPN is normally very "chatty" which means it likes to talk a lot back and forth from the client machine to the server it's connected with to confirm that the information being sent is received. The problem is that a satellite is 22,300 miles above the Earth... and the speed of light travels only at 186,000 miles per second, which means a full round trip for confirmation of a data packet being received takes longer than half a second. Thousands of data packets are being sent back and forth, and what happens quickly over a terrestrial connection comes crashing down over satellite... unless you have IG-VPN.

IG-VPN allows you to use your existing VPN solution by wrapping itself around your VPN software. IG-VPN will also allow you to create a point to point VPN solution if you do not yet have a VPN for your client computers connecting to the central server.

If you need to develop a highly secure VPN connection, the IG-VPN gives you an amazing suite of utilities that create an ultra secure and high performance VPN satellite connection.

If you already have a VPN for your organization that you need to connect over a satellite connection, then the IG-VPN solution can wrap itself around your VPN and eliminate the performance issues your VPN experiences over a satellite connection. In effect, you achieve double VPN protection.

IG-VPN is a total end-to-end solution for security and performance issues when you're communicating over a satellite network. IG-VPN authenticates users, encrypts communication channels and provides flexible access controls for client-to-application security. With IG-VPN, organizations can securely share critical information and applications with employees, customers, and business partners via the internet.

168-bit Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) with constantly changing session keys is employed for solid data protection to meet even the most stringent security requirements.

IG-VPN application proxy technology enables client-to-application connectivity, eliminating the need for technical end user configuration changes and troubleshooting of Network Address Translation (NAT) issues.

IG-VPN server software lives on your corporate headquarters server and enables end-to-end security for public and private networks. The interoperability and scalability of the IG-VPN server software enables secure access to TCP/IP based applications and other resources through the public Internet by providing a framework for mutual authentication, strong data encryption, access control, audit logging, and on-line registration. Sensitive data is exchanged among locations using Triple DES encryption with constantly changing session keys, providing top-notch security suitable for sensitive government and commercial use in today's hostile open network environment. IG-VPN SERVER software works with all major firewalls and supports a wide range of third party authentication systems.

IG-VPN client side software is a lightweight client that runs as a non-intrusive application on the end user's desktop, or as a Java applet on a browser providing VPN connection services to the IG-VPN SERVER located at your organization. Installation is fast, simple, and designed to take the complexity of VPN implementation out of the hand of users.
IG-VPN client software works with all Windows software, Macintosh 9 and 10, as well as a host of other platforms.

A powerful, flexible policy manager allows full control of user access to specific information. Access permissions can be as broad or granular as required for groups and individual users.

Pricing is determined by the number of seat licenses you will need. There is also a nominally priced annual service contract that keeps your software updated. Please contact a Line Access VPN specialist to request all IG-VPN software details and prices.
