Connect One chip offloads internet protocols, network security, and encryption for protected WiFi access
The Secure iLAN and Secure iWi-Fi allow devices previously requiring on-site technician visits to be remotely monitored and configured over IP networks in a completely secure manner from a home, office or on the road.
Secure iLAN and Secure iWi-Fi include an integrated web browser that enables existing devices to be accessed using a web browser.
In addition, existing devices can communicate via e-mail, file transfers and other Internet protocols.
Monitoring equipment can therefore use the Secure iLAN to e-mail a control centre or technician if a certain threshold is exceeded.
Both the Secure iLAN and Secure iWi-Fi are based on ConnectOne's CO2128 Internet controller chip and offer the following features and benefits: an integrated web server, provides an immediate web interface to existing devices; a high-speed serial interface allows users to enjoy speeds afforded by wired or wireless LAN; hardware-based SSL-standard encryption provides the highest level of Internet security; Firewall functionality protects the host device from Internet attacks; a full suite of Internet protocols and applications (TCP/UDP, SMTP/POP3, MIME, HTTP, WAP, FTP and Telnet); and remote configuration, management and firmware upgrades.
"Connectivity has become a critical component for many companies to achieve efficient, cost-effective services", says Ariel Shulman, Connect One's Vice President of Sales.
"Legacy devices challenge that bottom-line efficiency, yet the cost of replacing them is also prohibitive".
"With Secure iLAN and iWi-Fi, this problem is solved".
"Industrial machines, controllers and other systems using serial communications can instantly be online, configured, managed and monitored over the Internet".
The Secure iLAN connects to any 10/100 LAN, and the Secure iWi-Fi connects to any existing 802.11b/g wireless LAN.
Pricing for Secure iLAN starts at US $75, and pricing for Secure iWi-Fi starts at US $85.
Both are available now.
