GUARD-FS

Industrial Firewall / Router with Gigabit Switch by MPL

GUARD-FS

KEY FEATURES

  • Wide Input voltage range (8 - 36VDC)
  • Low power consumption (fanless operation)
  • Optional -40°C up to +85°C
  • All connectors on one side
  • Customized housing (IP67, MIL, wall/flange/rack mount, etc.)
  • Firewall/Router with 2x Gbit Ethernet ports (copper or SFP)
  • Built in 4-port switch (copper and/or fiber ports)

OVERVIEW

With the GUARD-FS, MPL has integrated several systems into one housing, a Firewall, a VPN-Gateway, a Router, as well as an Ethernet Switch with your choice of copper and/or fiber ports. You can imagine the broad use of the GUARD-FS with this variety of functionality. Basically in any application that needs to be installed in a rugged rough environment where space is an issue, the GUARD-FS is a perfect fit. Today, everything is getting automated. Therefore security in this automated world is becoming more and more important. The key differences of industrial applications are that they require a long-term availability due to the life cycle management of the investments.

The GUARD-FS Highlights

The system can be operated from -20°C to +60°C (optional -40°C to +85°C), without the need of a fan or case openings. The capability to offer copper as well as SFP ports for various fiber optical solutions make the product universal. This versatility is supported by the availability of a software development kit, Customized versions like IP67 housing, MIL connectors, wall/flange/19" rack mount will be offered as well.

The GUARD-FS is the ideal solution for industrial, transportation and defense applications where security, quality, reliability, low power consumption, and long-term availability are key. Just to name a few, the GUARD-FS can be used for applications such as remote monitoring & maintenance, secure communication in automation, etc..

Software
The Guard-FS uses an adapted version of OpenWRT (http://www.openwrt.org) for providing all the basic Firewall functionality. Since OpenWRT is an open source firewall software, all sources including the adaptions required for the GUARD-FS are available in source code. This allows for security reviews down to code level for high security applications.The basic functionality provided by the default installation can be extended via a multitude of mandatory software packages that allow extending the functionality of the GUARD-FS. These packages include support for various routing protocols, proxy servers, IPV6 over IPV4 tunnels, intrusion detection, web servers and so on. As an additional benefit, a software development kit will be made available which allows the implementation of customer specific functionality into the base system of the GUARD-FS.Most of the configuration of the firmware installed can be done using a web based interface. For more specialized requirements, a console based configuration utility is available. All configuration is stored on the device in a human friendly text format and can be modified using a text editor, too.
