- You pay for an expensive satellite service, and need to ensure highly secure transmissions.
- You employ a variety of carriers to connect all of my locations.
- You’ve been using a VPN to connect remote locations, but the equipment and/or service isn’t compliant with existing or upcoming security regulations that affect your industry.
- You run secure VoIP and video (or any latency sensitive applications) at remote locations, but need something that meets bandwidth and latency requirements.
- You need to harden the network security of remote locations, but can’t afford the corresponding increased costs.
- You need to rapidly deploy field offices on a limited budget.
- You’d like to use a managed service.

How Does RemoteLink Work?
RemoteLink is a plug-and-play device that requires no configuration by end-users. To establish a secure tunnel, a user inserts an administrator-generated USB smart card into the device. RemoteLink automatically acquires an IP address from the local network, sparing your local administrators from the need to allocate network resources.
How Secure is RemoteLink?
RemoteLink uses the most stringent security features available including SE-IKE — a security enhanced Internet key exchange method that encrypts tunnel handshake messages within a mandatory, mutual public key authentication process. RemoteLink enables worry-free communications over any trusted or untrusted networks because it is immune to all known attacks, including:
- VPN device identity spoofing
- Man-in-the-middle attacks
- Protocol attacks
- Insider threats
- All other active and passive attacks
RemoteLink does not store cryptographic information or network details in the device. All network credentials are kept on the user’s USB smart card, so your network cannot be compromised if the device is lost or stolen. If a user’s USB smart card is lost or stolen, simply suspend the user’s digital certificate until the smart card is located or the user is given new credentials.
