Business Wire
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
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
