New Value-Priced Chip Powers
High-Speed Small Office VPNs
DSL, cable modems and other broadband
applications demand hardware security
accelerationas much as 50-100 MIPS for IPSec
processing. Now you can design in the
strongest virtual private network security
without sacrificing performance or spending big
bucks on the wrong solution.
Saves Money, Time
and Board Space
At less than $20,* our new 7901 security processor
fits within your budget and on your motherboard.
Plus, the feature-packed 7901's glueless interface
reduces chip count and design time.
Soups up 3-DES and
Public Key Processing
The 7901 crunches through compression,
encryption and authentication algorithms at
speeds that leave general-purpose CPUs in the
dust. And, you get a true random number
generator and Public Key acceleration, all on
the same affordable all-purpose chip.
