The Reef Point Multiservice Security Gateway
Reef Point Systems' purpose-built, carrier-class Multiservice Security
Gateway provides comprehensive security for converged networks. Unlike other
solutions, such as session border controllers, the Reef Point solution is
massively scalable, securing up to half a million simultaneous connections.
The gateway provides secure WiFi roaming and provides subscribers with
confidentiality by encapsulating the call and signaling data in secure IPSec
tunnels. It provides robust threat defense including stateful firewalls with
Denial of Service attack prevention, intrusion detection services, custom
firewall filtering, dynamic virtual routing with Network Address Translation,
and session limiting to protect against external threats. With its
uncompromising high-performance and reliability through Reef Point's patented
Flow Application Streaming Technology(TM) and optimum mix of custom
ASICs/FPGAs and network processors, the Multiservice Security Gateway supports
Internet Key Exchange v2 (IKEv2) and Extensible Authentication Protocol Method
for GSM Subscriber Identity Modules (EAP-SIM) to provide scalable mutual
authentication, encryption and data integrity safeguards for signaling, voice,
and data.
