Whitewood Encryption Systems announces third patent from Los Alamos National Laboratory technology transfer Continued from page 9 bers by capturing apparently random events from the local physical environment, such as user behavior, network activity or other sources of noise. “It’s an important part of our mission to help technology move from the lab environment to full-scale commercialization,” said Duncan - these lay the foundation for a strong cryptographic systems. These systems are required to protect trusted transactions across the public and private sector today, and to guard against future technology breakthroughs that may make current cryptography approaches obsolete.” Whitewood is a subsidiary com- More information on Whitewood can be found at: www.whitewoodencryption.com.

Intelsat’s EpicNG also provides inherent protection from signal jamming and greater throughput for full-motion video and other bandwidth-hungry payloads.” Following this successful demonstration, Intelsat General and L-3 CS-West plan to conduct further tests with user platforms employing the recently launched Intelsat EpicNG IS- 29 satellite. Intelsat EpicNG is a high performance, next generation satellite platform that delivers global highthroughput technology via an innovative approach to satellite and network architecture utilizing C-, Ku- and Ka-bands, wide beams, spot beams, and frequency reuse technology to provide a host of customer-centric benefits. The Intelsat EpicNG series digital payload will be instrumental of spectrum, resulting in a dramatic increase in the amount of throughput delivered on these satellites. Intelsat EpicNG is based on open architecture and engineered for backwards compatibility, allowing broadband, media, mobility and government orga- of using existing hardware. At the same time, increased control means these organizations can build on their success by offering their end-users customized, differentiated solutions — even defining such service characteristics as speed, hardware and network topology.
