SDH Encryption
Modern high-speed networks in the WAN sector are mostly based on synchronous SDH/SONET transmission technology. SDH connections with data transfer rates between 155 MBit/s and 2.4 GBit/s have a wide sphere of applications, typically including interconnections between PBX devices, wire-, laser- or radio-based SDH links for customer access and router data exchange via packet-over-SONET (POS).
The ATMedia SDH Encryptor is a protocol-transparent encryption system for SDH/SONET links. The system encrypts STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12 and STM-16/OC-48 networks in real time and without any loss of quality. Deployment scenarios of the ATMedia SDH Encryptor are where standard SDH applications and networks are operated as VPN and hence should be protected against attempts at tapping and manipulation.

- Full-duplex AES encryption at SDH transport layer at 155 MBit/s, 622 MBit/s or 2.4 GBit/s
- Simple integration into STM-1, STM-4 and STM-16 SDH/SONET networks
- Maintenance-free operation including automatic key change
- Transparent handling of overheads and pass through of network clocks
- Approved for classified information by the BSI
