VCL-2140: Serial and Ethernet Data Encryption Equipment

Get Data Sheet

VCL-2140 is a low data rate serial and ethernet data encryption equipment with integrated firewall capabilities that may be installed to secure and protect ethernet and RTU data (Remote Terminal Data) in critical infrastructure such as Sub-Stations, Smart Grid Distribution Systems, Oil and Gas Infrastructure and Railway Signalling Networks. The VCL-2140 may be used to secure RTU data and protect it from being compromised or accessed by hostile elements.

The VCL-2140 Data Encryption Equipment may be installed in point-to-point applications and used to provide to secure communications between the RTU Terminals and their corresponding IEC -101, -104, DNP, MODBUS protocol central server(s) located in Load Dispatch Centre(s) / SCADA Management Centre(s) and Rail Traffic Control Room(s).

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)
