KG-250XS HAIPE Encryptor

Our lowest SWaP rugged HAIPE

The Viasat KG-250XS is a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) National Security Agency (NSA)-certified Type 1 rugged HAIPE Inline Network Encryptor (INE). Weighing just over half a pound and delivering over 100 Mbps (aggregate) asymmetric throughput that can be split depending on mission needs, the KG-250XS is ideal data protection for telecommuting, flyaway kits, small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and other dismounted or field applications.

Packing big networking power in a small form factor for data in transit, the Viasat KG-250XS delivers features above and beyond standard HAIPE requirements and improved performance over high-latency links with embedded multicast video on demand and Embedded Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) acceleration. The KG-250XS has advanced cryptographic capabilities (ACC), is Over-The-Network Keying (OTNK) Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) Aware, is Product Delivery Enclave (PDE)-enabled, and offers pass-through Layer 2 traffic using Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)/Ethernet tunneling over Layer 3 networks.

The KG-250XS allows you to remotely rekey a network of HAIPE devices from a physically secure location with HAIPE-to-HAIPE over-the-air/net keying and leverages a field-proven software-upgradable design, so it evolves over time to meet new requirements without hardware changes. It also comes equipped with a browser-based human-machine interface (HMI) for easy configurations and centralized INE management is provided at no extra cost. The Viasat KG-250XS provides trusted on-the-go IP encryption that won’t weigh you down.
