Qnect - Layer 2 Network Security

Qnect – Layer 2 Network Security

High speed Layer 2 network link encryption

Non-intrusive layer-2 encryption, typically for encrypting backbone/ethernet networks, without having to change anything on the network configuration. Utilizes one of the ECNanoteq crypto autonomy range of products, the QCM-L, thus allowing the customer to fully develop and implement their own cryptographic solution.

Key Features

  • Line rate 1 Gb/s Ethernet layer 2 link encryptor
  • Low Latency (under 21 microseconds)
  • VLAN Support (62 VLANs per segment)
  • Transport mode with authenticated encryption (256-bit GCM-AES)
  • Point to Point, Point to Multipoint and (fully meshed) network topology support
  • Centralised device management

    • In-band & out of band
  • Typically used in Wide Area Networks, for example Microwave networks
  • Optional E1 interface configuration available
