FC-1500 Security Controller

Fortress Security Controllers provide the link between wireless devices, users and network infrastructure. All critical security operations - encryption, authentication, data integrity checking, key exchange, and data compression - are optimized to minimize hands-on management.

Available in 250, 500 or 1500Mbps configurations, the FC-X’s Selectable Performance Module allows end-users to respond to growing bandwidth needs by simply selecting the appropriate performance for their network. The FC-X Series is the flagship of the Fortress product family, setting the standard for high performance, secure and reliable wireless LANs, satellite, free space optics and fixed wireless links.

Because Fortress products integrate into an existing network as an overlay, they protect current and future network infrastructure investments. Not tied to any particular vendor or RF protocol, the FC-X Series gives you the flexibility to modify your network as your wireless requirements evolve.
