The world’s first FI-capable Type 1 high-speed IP network encryptor, the AltaSec® KG-250 from ViaSat offers seamless foreign interoperability and programmable information assurance. This inline network encryptor (INE) is certified by the National Security Agency for use on classified U.S. Government communication networks, and is available to U.S. Department of Defense customers, and authorized international and Homeland Security organizations. 

Embedded TCP/IP Acceleration

With the KG-250's optional embedded TCP/IP accelerator, you can supercharge your secure satellite connection to improve throughput by up to eight times faster than a typical TCP connection. This INE is the only crypto with built-in acceleration for faster, more dependable performance over high-latency links. Injected with ViaSat's eXtreme Performance Enhancing Proxy (xPEP) technology, the KG-250 revs up secure satellite connections without needing extra devices and peripherals in the network.
