Ericsson and Telstra demonstrate secure end-to-end encryption over 10Gbps intercontinental link
January 16 2017 - 04:00PM
- Telstra and Ericsson encrypt data in transit at
10Gbps between Los Angeles and Melbourne with advanced optical
encryption technology
- Ericsson provides end-to-end systems integration
expertise to deliver the secure solution
- Demonstration shows continuous data encryption
while maintaining speed and reliability
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Telstra have
successfully demonstrated the ability to encrypt data securely
while in transit between Los Angeles and Melbourne at 10Gbps, using
Ciena's ultra-low latency 10G wire-speed encryption solution.
While encryption solutions exist today to protect
data when it is 'at rest' (at the start and end points) this trial
demonstrates the advanced security that can be delivered while data
is 'in transit', that is, being transmitted beyond the walls of a
datacenter across large networks, without any impact to
performance.
With the digitalization of business processes and
data consumption rising at a rapid rate, the need to keep data
secure without compromising integrity or increasing latency is
essential at both the application and network layers.
Darrin Webb, Executive Director of International
Operations and Services, Telstra, says: "Our market-leading subsea
cable network is the largest in the Asia-Pacific region and this
innovation continues our commitment to providing customers with a
world-class network experience. The outcome of this test shows that
data can now be encrypted while in transit across a long distance,
while maintaining the speed and reliability our customers have come
to expect from our international network. We will continue to work
with Ericsson and Ciena to take this trial to the next level with a
100Gbps encryption test."
Emilio Romeo, Head of Customer Unit Australia and
New Zealand, Ericsson, says: "This time last year Telstra and
Ericsson achieved an encryption trial between Melbourne and Sydney.
We have now extended the distance from Melbourne to Los Angeles
with data in transit encryption at 10Gbps, which is the typical
speed used today over these distances without encryption. Ericsson
brings our optical network systems expertise to progress these
tests and support Telstra's path toward commercialization of this
enhanced security capability."
Ericsson and Telstra will next demonstrate 100Gbps
encryption between Los Angeles and Melbourne in the first half of
2017.
