Module description

The X-ES XPedite5205 is a high-performance, ruggedized router. With onboard hardware encryption, the XPedite5205 offloads encryption processing from the router to provide highly secure yet scalable video, voice, and data services for mobile and embedded outdoor networks. The XPedite5205 provide a scalable, secure, manageable remote access server that meets FIPS 140-2 Level 1 requirements. The XPedite5205 Router Card uses industrial-grade components and is optimized for harsh environments that require Cisco IOS Software routing technology.
