RemoteLink secures any device with an Ethernet interface. It can be used to create a secure bridge across a wide variety of broadband connections, including dial-up access, T1, DSL, cable, wireless, satellite, frame-relay, and even MPLS networks. Since any Ethernet device can be plugged into RemoteLink, whether IP or non-IP, it extends the enterprise's network enabling secure data, VoIP and video communications across the enterprise. RemoteLink also extends the life of older systems, even DOS-based terminals commonly used in retail point of sale equipment.

"With RemoteLink, we're delivering on our promise to our customers--to put forward solutions that combine the highest security, the greatest flexibility, and the ultimate in mobility," noted Blue Ridge Networks' CEO Tony Russo. "This affordable, scalable solution can help organizations make remote branches, teleworkers, and even temporary offices as secure as if they were inside headquarters."

RemoteLink is an ideal option for organizations such as banks with multiple branches, civilian Government agencies with ad-hoc field offices, even multi-location healthcare providers--all environments where timely access to critical information while maintaining ironclad security is essential. RemoteLink affordably provides several security measures that allow organizations to meet and/or exceed the most stringent requirements they face including the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Requirements, DoD PKI, HSPD-12, HIPAA and a host of others.

"RemoteLink continues to open up new options for secure communications that were previously not possible," continued Russo. "We're giving organizations everywhere the freedom to secure new technology alongside their legacy equipment to increase productivity and ultimately drive cost savings to the bottom line."
