Despite the potential symbiosis between transport in armored cars and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), two factors have prevented both sectors from making the most of the opportunities available. The first has to do with the limited bandwidth cellular technologies offered up until recently; the second with the lack of integration and interoperability of existing services (GPS,...
SDN and NFV: New paradigm communication
During the past two years, a lot has been discussed about SDN/NFV technologies which promise major changes in the current communication scenarios. Many have pointed out that the current network status does not allow a quick evolution, new protocols or facilitate the implementation of new services. We can consider the evolution of existing protocols or creating new ones that meet current needs,...
Connecting branches via VPN
Smooth-running backup solution via LTE The requirements for connecting branches or company subsidiaries are not only a technical issue but are also substantially driven by costs. In order to keep up in a global environment chain, operators have to keep their costs low and ensure lean, fast processes. This means basically that branches and subsidiaries have to be managed and administrated...
Virtual Private Networks, types and characteristics
In essence a Virtual Private Network (VPN) consists in using a normally public network (IP) but at such a level of abstraction the said network is only used as a transport mechanism between two ends over which a private network has been constructed. The inherent fact of using a public network requires security, up to the point where both concepts, VPN and security, become one, independently of...
Router and Server for onsite applications
It is quite obvious to say that corporate communications have evolved. Not so long ago, a few decades ago, “dumb” terminals were connected to a mainframe. A significant evolution followed with the introduction of X25, Frame Relay and ISDN. We could say it had the same level of importance to corporate communications, as the discovery of fire had within prehistoric man. However, more recently,...
