  • COST-EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF MULTIPLE TRANSPORTS OF AN SD-WAN GATEWAY
    Publication number: 20230344764
    Abstract: A network communication system which provides cost effective support for two or more WAN transports from a single SD-WAN site. The network communication system, may at times by default, monitor a higher-cost WAN for only basic connectivity to reduce monitoring costs of the transport. Where an application is properly configured, the system may override the default to monitor a higher-cost WAN for acceptable performance (i.e., monitored for connectivity, packet loss, latency, jitter & capacity) even when that WAN is not selected as active transport.

  • Secure communication system
    Patent number: 5963621
    Abstract: A communication system including: a first secure communication terminal for providing analog voiceband data; a first processing circuit connected to receive the secure data from the first secure communication terminal and for converting the received data into secure baseband data, the first processing circuit transmitting the baseband data; a second processing circuit connected to receive--the transmitted baseband data from the first processing circuit, and for converting the received baseband data into analog voiceband data; and a second secure communication terminal for receiving the analog voiceband data from the second processing circuit. The communication system is especially applicable for handling secure data transmitted by a STU-III.
