SafeNet's SONET/SDH encryptors provide fiber speed encryption

NEW DELHI -- SafeNet, the world leader in information security, recently announced the availability of its SafeEnterprise SONET/SDH encryptors in India. SONET is used for data, voice and video applications including data backup, remote storage and disaster recovery. It supports transmission over spans of two kilometers (short range), 15km (intermediate range), and 40km (long range). Until now, there has been no way to secure the high-speed SONET networks themselvess. SONET encryption is the ideal technology for securing these high speed networks because it does not create additional traffic overhead.

SONET is the mainstay of optical networking technology with almost 70 percent of new optical equipment sales designed for SONET networks, according to Infonetics Research. Large enterprise organisations choose SONET networks because of their reliability, interoperability, low latency and efficient use of the fiber medium.

Chris Holland, director, product management, SafeNet, said: "Our large enterprise customers asked us to provide a low-overhead encryption product for SONET networks. Today we are happy to announce this family of new products, which provides true fiber speed encryption at up to 10 gigabits per second. This capability now allows high speed communication which is both efficient and highly secure."
