CARLSBAD, CA--- ViaSat Chosen to Produce Media Encryptors for DoD Applications

ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT) has been awarded a $1.5 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to manufacture KG-200 and KG-201 In-Line Media Encryptors (IMEs) in a competitive procurement by the National Security Agency (NSA). The KG-200 and KG-201 are NSA-certified to secure data up to Top Secret/SCI, transparently encrypting and decrypting data written to and read from computer storage media (also called “data at rest”). The KG-200 is designed for desktop Pcs; the KG-201 for laptop Pcs and other mobile computing platforms.

“This was an important win for us since it was the first competition for manufacturing Type 1 IMEs,” said Jerry Goodwin, vice president of Network Systems Group at ViaSat. “Media encryptors are a vital new area for us. As our customers deploy our network encryptors they need a product to secure data at the edge of the network, and there are no other products currently available to do that.”

ViaSat has focused on developing secure networking for customers by offering a combination of products that can easily integrate to satisfy warfighter needs. The Inline Media Encryptors, AltaSec™ network encryptors, high assurance filters, and custom products powered by the ViaSat PSIAM™ cryptographic modules are all part of a drive to provide customers with easy-to-use, secure networking.
