BabylonMETA PRI

ISDN PRI Encryptor

BabylonMETA™ PRI is an advanced, large-scale, digital encryption device equipped with an ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) port. It is simply placed in front of customer premises equipment, such as an ISDN PBX, router, videoconferencing system or multipoint control unit and is especially suitable for large enterprises and Government agencies.

Innovative Modular System

BabylonMETA is the only encryption platform with interchangeable interfaces making the system compatible with all environments, such as ISDN, Frame Relay and X.25. When the network's architecture is changed, the administrator simply needs to exchange the interface card and update the Babylon firmware to the appropriate protocol, without having to change the encryption main board. Babylon's modular concept minimises customer risks by providing full investment protection and low maintenance costs.

Encryption

BabylonMETA uses hardware-supported symmetric 192-bit triple-DES encryption algorithms for encrypting the data stream. For every new communication session, Babylon 4xBRI automatically generates a unique key by means of the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange protocol. Users can also define their own set of keys and assign them to the different logical links.

Remote Management

SecurityManager allows authorised administrators to centrally manage encryption keys, install new firmware and configure devices. Babylon devices support SNMP and Syslog. Extensive monitoring capabilities about every connection provide network managers with real-time system status.
