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 with a choice of cellular, public Wi-Fi or LEO Sat, 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 critical communications 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 manufactures products that address the challenges of delivering ad-hoc, wide area connectivity for mission-critical applications, with emphasis on performance, utility, and security.
Our products create enterprise-type connectivity by bonding multiple public (and/or private) internet connections like cellular, wi-fi, xDSL, and LEO Sat.
WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Made In Britain, and with critical components sourced exclusively from the EU, USA, and countries with which the UK has security cooperation pacts, Mediaport products boast a hardened security posture and are built without compromise.​
In a world full of geopolitical threats, the origin of the equipment we depend on for critical communications matters more than ever.
The edge is where the action is.
​Edge computing can bring significant benefits compared to processing at the data centre. That's why virtualisation is at the core of our strategy to create hybrid products that combine intelligent apps with resilient backhaul, in collaboration with specialist partners.
Alongside a family of standard COTS versions, Mediaport SONJA is available with powerful edge computing capabilities to certified OEMs.
​​
EDGE-COMPUTE READY
Built on a flexible industrial platform with an open source Linux ecosystem, SONJA's virtualised operating system can securely host third party apps including video encoders, IoT gateways, ANPR, amongst many others.
These hybrid edge devices, developed with and sold via strategic OEM partners, are force-multipliers that can deliver potent compute-and-connect functionality, in small ruggedised form factors, for the most arduous roles in defence, intelligence, and law-enforcement, amongst numerous commercial applications.
Mediaport Secure
Compute & Connect™
Our holistic approach to device security and integrity encompasses hardware based Secure Boot, Secure Update, and a critical components supply chain that's limited to the UK, EU, USA and countries with which the UK has security cooperation pacts.
Unique | Immutable | Unclonable
MADE IN BRITAIN with all critical components sourced from trusted jurisdictions including EU, USA, and countries with which the UK has security cooperation pacts.
​
TRUSTED EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT with hardware based Root of Tust (RoT) and chain of trust (CoT) guarantees the authenticity of our hardware and software, even if the device is used unattended in a hostile environment.
​
CUSTOMER'S OWN KEYS can be used and we can provide additional secure key and hash storage in the on-board Maxim® DeepCover® TPM.
​
​OPTIONAL SECURITY FEATURES include anti-tamper on intrusion or movement, with encryption key-wipe even without power, plus special features for covert and expeditionary use by approved government customers.
​
PROTECTING OUR OEM PARTNERS SONJA's guest VM can be incorporated into the secure boot chain of trust, and OEM's keys and hashes can be stored on the Maxim Deepcover TPM.
SECURE BOOT EXPLAINED
A read-only root private key is fused into the CPU at the time of manufacture. Additional keys and hashes are stored in the onboard Maxim DeepCover TPM.
​​​
Trusted boot guarantees the integrity of all code executed on your Mediaport, from the very first boot instruction. It ensures only system components signed by Mediaport Systems Ltd, SIMA GmbH (for Bondix), and the silicon vendors are loaded, and it assures the authenticity of Mediaport hardware and software.
​​
Additional keys and hashes can be stored in the onboard Maxim Deepcover TPM, authenticated by the hardware based Root of Trust secure boot. These can provide a means of authenticating each Mediaport as it attempts to connect to the server, preventing impersonation and network penetration by a cloned device.
