Specifications

Comprehensive Security
The central component of DoD and other sensitive network solutions is the ability to
ensure data security at all times and at all levels. Fortress products support the most
advanced security implementations in the industry. Using standards based, interoperable
and compliant security protocols certified to FIPS-140-2 and upgradable to NSA Suite
B cryptography, Fortress is a leader in secure wireless networking. Fortress products are
unique in that they support in-built RADIUS, advanced Wi-Fi WPA2 security with EAP-TLS,
use a hardware crypto implementation and have a hardware based True Random Number
Generator (TRNG) ensuring the richest security with the highest performance.
FastPath Mesh
™
Fortress FastPath Mesh technology provides a self-forming, path optimizing, self-healing
network architecture designed from the ground up to support truly mobile and often
transported networks, elegantly addressing the needs of dynamic tactical networks.
FastPath Mesh is link protocol agnostic and utilizes all interfaces and radio links to reach a
destination using the lowest cost path. The resulting network is a unique mix of proactive and reactive protocols
designed to work together to improve network performance and address moving nodes.
Overlaid on the mesh is end-to-end encryption and capabilities to eliminate multicast/broadcast flooding for
improved overall network performance. Fortress’s implementation includes a fully distributed DNS capability and
is IPv4 and IPv6 multicast-aware.
Rugged for Outdoor
Robust packaging and enhanced RF specifications are crucial to adapting standard
Wi-Fi to the harsh and long range conditions typical in tactical wireless deployments
and transportable networks. Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) and highest levels of en-
vironmental certification are the cornerstone of providing a solution that can withstand
the toughest conditions, can survive constant portability, and can be easily embedded
in larger systems. Better quality and high power RF enables reliable, high throughput
long distance operation required for typical in-theater operational conditions.
Fortress solutions are delivered in ruggedized form factors with superior RF hardware and antennas while
remaining more cost effective than custom designed technology once typical in secure networks.
