VCL-MX-5040-R: MPLS Router

Get Data Sheet

VCL-MX-5040-R, the router, is an intelligent MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) router that can be used to securely interconnect multiple LAN networks over a WAN link using a choice of secure routing protocols, including MPLS VPN, IPsec, and Open VPN. The VCL-MX-5040-R is a ruggedized OSI model routing equipment that is embedded with advanced routing and cybersecurity features, which make it suitable for installations in critical infrastructure such as utilities, substations, smart grid distribution systems, airports, and railways that require high reliability industrial equipment. It may also be installed in IT networks of financial institutions such as banks and corporate networks for Wide Area Applications.

UNMS (Unified Network Management System)

Secure (supports TLS/SSL for encrypting connections between devices)
Permission-based security
Uses Software Defined Perimeter (SDP); the username/password login is replaced with Single-Packet Authorization (SPA), and the receiving device cannot be seen by hackers. This introduces an additional layer of security and is beneficial with or without SSL/TLS.
Guaranteed message delivery (no data loss or duplication of data)
