Building Scalable and Secure Embedded Networks
Based on JetBox 9500 Embedded VPN Router Computers!
For today’s industrial control and communications applications, the networks allowing these systems to be controlled and communicate are growing larger and more complex. Network constructions based on embedded systems technology require secure, manageable and robust embedded platforms.
Industrial Grade Embedded Computers for Severe Environmental Applications
When choosing an embedded solution for providing highest network reliability, key industrial environmental factors are being considered, including the temperature, air quality, project lifecycle of the devices etc.
Korenix JetBox series are designed with the best parameters to ensure the highest quality of the enhanced network. With extended temperature components, no moving parts and fans, JetBox 9500 series are capable of operating under harsher conditions than commercial grade devices. Since they have fanless design, the air flow cannot circulate in or around the electronic components inside the device. Furthermore, the industrial platforms of the devices help them resist the dust and humidity.
Korenix also provides the wide operating temperature models for reliable operation under severe industrial environments with specifically vast operating temperature. In addition to all these features, designed with an IP31 ingress protected enclosure, the MTBF of JetBox series is much higher than these of a commercial grade device. As a result, JetBox series can be ideally fitted in projects requiring longer lifecycles.

Router/Firewall/VPN for High Performance and Secure Networking
Layer3 Routing - Complex networks are requiring more security and management functionalities. To interconnect subnets through WANs or the internet and thus to allow field sites and offices to be bridged, embedded systems should incorporate the routing functionalities. Designed with complete Layer 3 Routing features, the JetBox 9500 series are capable of inspecting incoming packets and make dynamic routing decisions based on the source and destination addresses inside to achieve a better network group management. With a built-in OSPF they ensure the automatic failover of WAN connection in case of a primary link failure.
Firewall - Another important factor for building reliable industrial networks, is the subnet security. In these context, the best way to protect each subnet from malicious attacks is to install a firewall to analyze and control incoming and outgoing data. The JetBox 9500 series is the ideal platform for building an industrial firewall. The firewall functionality can run along side the router functionality, while providing additional security to the network.
VPN - Since computer networks are no longer closed systems and may consist of intranets, extranets, and Internet sites, the key remote access requirement of an enterprise organization can be provided using VPN. JetBox 9500 series supports VPN functionality and works as a VPN gateway to mitigate the risks of malicious intrusion and to establish a secure mechanism of users’ identity while expanding networking capabilities and reducing system costs. With the built-in Java VM they allow for easy development of a Java-based VPN server application.
By consolidating industrial Linux Computer, Layer 3 Router, Managed Ethernet Switch, Powering Device and Digital I/O controller functionalities into an all-in-one solution, the JetBox 9500 series layer-3 Router /Firewall/ VPN platforms are the perfect reliable embedded solutions for designing enhanced networks in harsh industrial environments.
