Telkonet Confirms FIPS 140-2 Validation for Entire iWire System
26 July 2005Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX:TKO), the leader in providing powerline networking solutions using existing electrical wiring, today announced that it has received the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 validation for the Telkonet eXtender(TM) and the Telkonet iBridge(TM). With the validation of Telkonet's Gateway on June 27, 2005, all of Telkonet's powerline carrier (PLC) products have received this government security certification, which is required by the Federal government as a condition of purchase for certain information processing applications.
Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO of Telkonet commented, "FIPS 140-2 compliance and certification of the entire Telkonet iWire(TM) System is a significant milestone demonstrating our commitment to meet this U. S. government standard for information security. As the first provider of FIPS 140-2 certified IP over powerline product, we are actively working with both government agencies and government contractors to satisfy networking requirements, for which the Telkonet iWire System(TM) is uniquely suited."
FIPS 140-2 compliant products are accepted by the Federal agencies of both the United States and Canada for the protection of sensitive information (U.S.) or designate information (Canada), according to NIST. FIPS 140-2 is also recognized by the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG) as meeting security criteria for use in data traffic categorized as "Private". CESG is the UK Government's National Technical Authority for Information Assurance, responsible for enabling secure and trusted knowledge and is also validated protection for financial and healthcare organizations, as well as for international governments.
About Telkonet
Telkonet develops and markets technology for the transmission of high-speed voice, video and data communications over the existing electrical wiring within a building. The revolutionary Telkonet iWire System(TM) utilizes proven powerline communications (PLC) technology, which enables the delivery of commercial high-speed broadband access from an IP "platform" that is easy to deploy, reliable and cost-effective by leveraging a building's existing electrical infrastructure. The building's existing electrical wiring becomes the backbone of the local area network, which converts virtually every electrical outlet into a high-speed data port, without the costly installation of additional wiring or major disruption of business activity.
The Telkonet iWire System can be installed rapidly and offers a viable and cost-effective alternative to the challenges of hardwiring and wireless local area networks (LANs). Telkonet's products are designed for use in commercial and residential applications, including multi-dwelling units and the hospitality and government markets. Applications supported by the Telkonet "platform" include but are not limited to: VoIP telephones, Internet connectivity, local area networking, video conferencing, closed circuit security surveillance and a host of other information services.
