Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Hughes JUPITER System is a broadband satellite system designed to support high-throughput satellite communications. It consists of VSAT satellite terminals, single rack or multi rack JUPITER GWs and the capabilities to manage these devices over the network. The IPsec IPGW is a JUPITER GW component that is used to provide Internet access for associated terminals, perform IP acceleration and routing of packets between terminals and the Internet, and encrypt user traffic between itself and HT Satellite Router terminals via IPsec tunnels.
