Wireless VPN

CRITICAL ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS, such as e-mail and customer resource management, can be securely extended to mobile professionals with the movianVPN, a vitual private network client for wireless devices. By interoperating with multiple VPN gateways, the movianVPN provides end-to-end security. Implementing the IPSeC/IKE protocols, movianVPN establishes a secure tunnel that encrypts all traffic between the hand-held device and VPN gateway--decreasing the risk of eavesdropping, interception and tampering. The movianVPN supports a variety of hand-held devices, and incorporates the most commonly used form of VPN authentication. It is simple to install and configure, and features a graphic interface, small footprint on the device, a pull down menu for the gateway and detailed server configurations.--Certicom.

Beam packages of data

DESIGNED TO IMPROVE MOBILE PDA and smart phone users' productivity. SyncTalk Professional 2.0 software allows users to beam contact information and share meeting notes with colleagues-even if they have different types of hand-held devices. Among other features, SyncTalk allows mobile device users-regardless of operating system-to beam packages of data simultaneously from a SyncTalk outbox, instead of having each item sent individually. For example, an account executive can, at the end of a customer meeting, beam the customer a package of contact numbers, meeting notes, sales documents and a follow-up meeting appointment with the touch of a button before ever leaving the room. Users can bulk transfer all contacts and agenda items for instant upgrades.--SoDeog

10-bit video performance

OFFERING TRUE REAL-TIME 10-BIT video performance, the VT/VR 14030 series of 10-bit digital single-channel fiber-optic video products meets the highest picture standards-providing a signal that is broadcast quality, exceeding the RS-250C short-haul performance specification. Through digital transmission, the signal quality is increased, offering less deviation and more consistent performance compared to analog transmission. The VT-VR14030 series has a loss budget of 23 dB, short-haul performance with a 67 dB signal-to-noise ratio and an operating temperature range of -40 [degrees] to 74 [degrees] C. The unit allows a single camera output to be transmitted and received up to 43 miles, with none of the signal degradation associated with analog transmission.--IFS

Triple-speed ethernet testing

MAXIMIZE TESTING RESOURCES while minimizing costs by providing one solution for all ethernet technology verification. The LM1000T-5 Load Module provides flexible traffic generation, capture and filtering capabilities to fully test multilayer ethernet switches, routers and the network itself. The LM1000T-5 incorporates two independent ports that support 10, 100 or 1,000 Mbps ethernet over unshielded twisted pair cables. While providing two ports per card, the mode and speed of each port on the LM1000T-5 Load Modules can be selected manually or negotiated automatically with the device under test. In the 10 and 100 Mbps mode, the LM1000T-5 supports both full-duplex and half-duplex operation. Similarly, at 1,000 Mbps, the LM1000T-5 provides the same functionality as Ixia's existing gigabit-over-copper cards. The LM1000T-5 is fully compatible with the IXIA 1600, 400 and 100 chassis. Up to 32 10/100/1,000 Mbps ethernet ports can be configured in a single IXIA 1600 chassis.--Ixia
