DISTRIBUTECH 2006 CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION, TAMPA (February 2006) – Microwave Data Systems (MDS), a world leader in industrial, wireless, networking solutions with applications in the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), automation, telecommunications, public safety, and online transactional markets, today introduced the latest addition to the MDS Security Suite. MDS SCADAcrypt adds state-of-the-art encryption to your wireless SCADA network. It can be used for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links, and it provides solid security to the device and/or to the host in MDS wireless serial systems. Features on this serial data encrypter include AES-256 bit encryption and Ethernet management port password protection.
It is a compact device but built to the same industrial specifications as all MDS products and meant to work in brutal operating conditions, which include temperatures from –40- to +70-degrees Celsius. When all units are installed, a single command from the master turns on system-wide encryption. The user interface is Web-server based and password protected enabling remote access to authorized personnel from any computer with Ethernet and a web browser.
