Sierra
Wireless Delivers End-to-End VPN Connectivity for Law Enforcement Fleets
with AirLink® Connection Manager
AirLink
Connection Manager (ACM) 2.0 and AirLink MG90 multi-network vehicle
router enable secure, FIPS-140-2 compliant, always-on VPN connectivity
for mission-critical applications
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 23, 2017--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced the upcoming release of the AirLink® Connection Manager
(ACM) 2.0 VPN appliance for vehicle networking use cases. Compatible
with all AirLink routers and gateways, ACM 2.0 is optimized for the
AirLink MG90 multi-network vehicle router to provide secure FIPS 140-2
compliant, “always-on” VPN connectivity between all in-vehicle systems
connected to the router and to the enterprise.
Unlike traditional VPN solutions, which will disconnect VPN connections
when roaming between mobile networks, ACM maintains VPN tunnels and
connectivity across networks, ensuring mission-critical applications are
uninterrupted and end users have continuous, reliable connectivity. In
addition, ACM 2.0 coupled with AirLink MG90 provide law enforcement
agencies an end-to-end solution that extends the enterprise network to
the vehicle and meets Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)
requirements to connect to secure databases.
“We are a trusted partner to more than half of the largest police
departments in the U.S. and Canada who rely on AirLink networking
solutions in their cruisers and incident response vehicles,” said Jason
Krause, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions,
Sierra Wireless. “ACM 2.0 is a turnkey solution that ensures field
officers are always connected with the highest level of security, and it
is much more cost-effective and easy to deploy than existing VPN
solutions.”
Purpose-built for AirLink routers and gateways, ACM 2.0 eliminates the
need for fixed IP addresses, certificates or special client software on
remote devices, simplifying deployments and significantly reducing the
cost of ensuring data security. ACM 2.0 is also compatible with the NCP
VPN Client for Windows, allowing agencies to extend the same VPN
security to Windows laptops for officers and employees outside of the
vehicle area network.
AirLink MG90 multi-network vehicle routers are optimized for the most
demanding mission-critical wireless applications, including public
safety, field services and transit. They unite the fleet with the
enterprise network and enable multiple field applications to work
simultaneously, further and faster from the vehicle than ever before,
with dual-LTE-Advanced extensible multi-network connectivity and support
for FirstNet™ Band 14.
Availability
The AirLink Connection Manager (ACM) is available today for all
customers, and the ACM 2.0 release will be available in November for new
and existing customers on a support contract. AirLink networking
solutions are sold through Sierra Wireless’ authorized channel partners
worldwide. For more information, visit
