Go Prepared
"Access to secure, reliable connectivity is essential. Problem is, I never know where I’ll need it next."
Go prepared for unrivalled performance in any situation: indoors and out, on the move, all-weather, in dense urban settings and remote countryside.​​​
​
SONJA from Mediaport Systems bonds up to eight WANs to create near enterprise-grade connectivity, at a moment’s notice, and in the most challenging environments: SONJA bonds up to four cellular, four satellite, or any combination of 5G, 4G, satellite, public WiFi, and fixed-lines.
Security
​Nowadays, connectivity is at the heart of everything we do.
We expect to find fast, reliable internet wherever we go. Yet in many situations, even where we have a choice of cellular, public WiFi or satellite, no single provider can consistently deliver the performance we need. Poor connectivity thwarts our productivity; inadequate security can expose individuals and businesses to intolerable threats.
​
In critical national infrastructure, defence, and law enforcement, the stakes are even higher. Devices that offer mobile and rapidly deployed connectivity can play life-saving roles in public safety scenarios. But if they conceal security vulnerabilities, they may turn out to be our Achilles’ heel.
​
PROVENANCE MATTERS
​
In a world full of geopolitical threats,
the origin of the equipment we depend on for our critical comms matters more than ever.
Organisations with a healthy aversion to risk, both government and commercial, increasingly turn to manufacturers that source critical components exclusively from trusted jurisdictions. That includes microprocessors, integrated circuits, and embedded modules deep under the hood.
Mediaport Systems designs and builds products that address the challenges of delivering ad-hoc, wide area connectivity for mission-critical applications, with emphasis on performance, versatility, and security.

Performance
​
Industrial-spec, gigabit-class hardware, high-grade Telit Cinterion modems, and real WAN bonding by Bondix.
SONJA uses different telcos and WAN access media to create multiple diverse backhaul routes. It combines the WANs into a single, virtual connection, aggregating the available bandwidth and creating layers of redundancy.
-
Combines up to eight WANs into a single virtual connection.
-
Can dramatically increase bandwidth, resilience, and uptime.
-
Aggregates up to 80% of the available WAN bandwidth, presenting a single fast connection to users and applications.
-
Bonds upstream as well as downstream.
-
Simultaneously connects to up to 4 different cellular networks for best-available coverage.
QUALITY:
When available networks are inadequate or unpredictable.
Versatility​​​
​
SONJA is available in three enclosure formats, optimised for differing deployment scenarios. All versions use the same industrial-spec hardware platform, with secure virtualised OS and Bondix by SIMA.
SONJA Rugged: Battery portable, outdoor, IP67
SONJA Rackmount: 19” x 1u, indoor or in-vehicle
SONJA Desktop: Compact, indoor or in-vehicle

Secure Compute & Connect™
​
Alongside a family of standard versions, SONJA is available with powerful edge computing capabilities to certified OEMs.
Our OEM platforms include one or more Guest VMs in which specialist apps can be securely accommodated and run, with direct access to SONJA’s core gateway and WAN bonding functions via the Linux VM vSocket interface.
-
Secure Guest VM(s) for edge computing by certified OEM partners.
-
Potent compute-and-connect functionality in small rugged form-factors.
-
Real-time interaction between apps and router functions via API.
-
Reduced box count optimises SWaP (size, weight, power) and reduces hardware costs.
VIRTUALISATION
​
Built on a flexible industrial platform with an open source Linux ecosystem, SONJA's virtualised operating system is designed to securely accommodate and run third party apps such as video & audio encoding, data encryption, layer 2 (multicast capable) and layer 3 VPNs, IoT gateways, and Reverse Proxy services from the likes of Cloudflare, to name but a few.
-
Near-native performance using passthrough and hardware memory management.
-
Powerful and low-overhead machine emulation.
-
Open-source Linux ecosystem.
-
Virtualisation, instead of containerisation, for deep isolation between Host and Guest VMs.
-
Secure boot.
SYNERGY:
Powerful edge computing with best-of-breed hybrid connectivity,​ robustly packaged for the most arduous roles in security, defence, and law-enforcement, amongst numerous commercial applications.
