VCL-MX-5040-R: MPLS Router

Get Data Sheet

VCL-MX-5040-R, router is an intelligent MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) router which can be used to securely inter-connect multiple LAN networks over a WAN link using a choice of secure routing protocols including MPLS VPN, IPsec and OpenVPN. The VCL-MX-5040-R is a ruggedized OSImodel routing equipment that is embedded with advanced routing and cyber security features which make it suitable for installations in critical infrastructure such as utilities, sub-stations, smart-grid distribution systems, airports and railways that require high reliability industrial equipment.

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 are 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)
