Promptus HotLink-IP
Secure IP Appliance
HotLink-IP™ is a high-performance, miniature
hardware-based, digital encryption device equipped with
Ethernet interface ports. Easy to place anywhere - as an
unobtrusive set-top or desk-top device - HotLink-IP locates
between the network and the end-user IP videoconferencing
device in any room,group, desk-top, SOHO or mobile
videoconferencing setting.
Secure IP Videoconferencing
HotLink-IP is ideal for the deployment of secure LAN and WAN
videoconferencing networks operating at data rates of up to
50 Mbit/s. Encrypted point-to-point, multipoint or hybrid
videoconferencing networks are all supportable by HotLink-IP
at end-points, multipoint control units, gatekeepersand
gateways.
Being an independent device, HotLink-IP is 100%-compatible
with new videoconferencing networks and retro-fitable to
existing networks of any brand, or combination of brands.
Interoperability between encrypted end-points is assured,
enabling secure video calls to be placed to any
destination.
Encryption
Driven by an advanced Intel® CPU, HotLink-IP uses a
hardware-based, symmetric 256-bit AES encryption (and 168-bit
Triple-DES) algorithm for encrypting the data stream,
ensuring that conferences are immune to eavesdroppers.
Confidential discussions remainjust that, confidential.
Most on-board videoconferencing encryptors compete for
resources with the host-processor's demanding codec role.
HotLink-IP is external, incorporating a powerful
purpose-built microprocessor, thereby freeing the
videoconferencing system to do its job without call set-up
delay or mid-call compression latency. It also enables
best-of-breed videoconferencing equipment choices to be made
independently of security considerations.
Firewall
HotLink-IP incorporates a built-in firewall to prevent
malicious denial-of-service attacks reaching the end-points.
Also, by inspecting and analysing packets traversing the
ports, the firewall actively identifies intrusion attempts by
malevolentoutsiders.
