Click to enlargeThe BANDIT III™, the latest addition to the Encore’s BANDIT™ (Broadband
Access Network Device for Intelligent Termination™) family, is an
industrially hardened cyber security appliance with integrated router,
firewall, terminal server, serial to IP converter, legacy protocol conversion,
and VPN functionality. Ideally suited for electric, gas, oil and water
utilities, industrial plant floors, mobile transportation, and traffic control
system applications, the BANDIT III™ ensures system data and SCADA
network connections directly to the Internet, secure Wide Area Network
(WAN) and/or Local Area Network (LAN), or commercial cellular data
IP services.
Cyber security is an urgent issue in industries where advanced automation
and communications networks have mission critical applications
and high reliability is of paramount importance. These industries have
mandated industry specific requirements to ensure their data networking
and cyber assets are reliable and secure. The BANDIT III™ has the
necessary features to comply with the most stringent security requirements.
The BANDIT III™ supports up to five serial RS232 ports, integrated four
port fully managed Ethernet switch, selectable power supply and
redundancy options, and an integrated V.92 modem. In addition, the
BANDIT III™ supports two expansion slots supporting optional digital connectivity
modules such as 56/64K CSU/DSU or T1/E1 CSU/DSUs, allowing
for connectivity to public/private WAN Frame Relay services, and/or
cellular connectivity modules allowing connectivity to public carrier secure
cellular data services. Supported cellular interfaces include CDMA
1X/EVDO Rev A and GSM GPRS/EDGE.
