Lantronix Teams With Honeywell to Provide Industry's First AES-Certified Device Servers for Enterprise Class Security and Access Control Systems Lantronix SecureBox SDS1100 and SDS2100 Are the Industry's First and Only Device Servers Certified by NIS
IRVINE, Calif., Mar 31, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Lantronix(R),
Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), today announced Honeywell, a global leader in diversified
technology and manufacturing, has selected Lantronix' SecureBox(TM) SDS100 to
provide enterprise class security management and access control solutions that
meet the U.S. government's mandated Advanced Encryption Standards for high
security installations. The Honeywell Security Manager, a component of the
Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator suite, is designed to address the
stringent requirements for secure data communications within networked devices
at government facilities. The Lantronix SecureBox line of device servers and the
Honeywell Security Manager are both available immediately.
According to a recent government mandate, AES certification is now required for
security related data communications on government or government contractors'
networks, including all devices connected to those networks. Lantronix SecureBox
SDS1100 and SDS2100 are the industry's first and only device servers certified
by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to meet Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for ensuring secure data communication at
AES encryption levels. Incorporated directly into Honeywell's Enterprise
Buildings Integrator System (EBI), the SecureBox SDS1100 enables remote
Honeywell security and access control devices to provide network communications
at an advanced encryption level based on the FIPS 197 standard without requiring
replacement of existing controllers.
"Honeywell is a leading provider of advanced security systems for government
applications, so it was critical that we find a cost effective way to address
the new AES-certification requirement for our customers," said Greg Turner,
Director of Platforms at Honeywell. "Based on our past experience with
Lantronix, we had confidence the SecureBox device servers were the solution
which could enable us to quickly meet that challenge. By incorporating them
directly into our new products, we were able to accelerate the launch of our
AES-certified Enterprise Building Integrator suite to meet critical deadlines on
several government projects."
"Lantronix SecureBox products are the first, and currently the only
AES-certified device servers available in the industry, and the response to them
has been very strong since we launched them just two weeks ago," said Marc
Nussbaum, CEO of Lantronix. "SecureBox is clearly addressing an important need
for companies that provide networked security systems for government
applications. We are particularly pleased to have been selected by Honeywell,
and that our SecureBox enabled them to get the Honeywell Security Manager
product to market so rapidly."
The SecureBox SDS1100 and SDS2100 are single and dual port external device
servers respectively, that incorporate Lantronix's proven hardware, firmware and
software utilities. Key features include a 10/100 Fast Ethernet interface, a
broad 9-30 vdc power input range, 128-256 bit FIPS-197 certified AES encryption,
and lockdown security features in the firmware so the devices can be closed to
all but encrypted communications. Both products will also offer Secure Com Port
Redirector software, providing a complete end-to-end encrypted solution for
secure data communications.
The SecureBox line is available now from Lantronix or through an authorized
reseller. The SecureBox products and the new Honeywell security device will also
be on display in the Lantronix booth (#25113) at the ISCWest show in Las Vegas
(March 31-April 2).
