U.S. Based Secure Mobile Communications Gateway

The Tenant Gateway, hosted by Apriva, is available to federal, state, and local government agencies that for technical or policy reasons cannot use the DISA’s MCEP (Defense Information Systems Agency's Multi-Carry Entry Point). It works seamlessly with Apriva’s authentication and secure user applications to provide end to end mobile communications security. 

  • Gateways are based at a secure facility within the continental U.S. 
  • 24/7 monitoring of network availability and vulnerability 
  • Reliable network with minimal downtime 
  • No dependency on third parties that are subject to outages 

 

Tenant Gateway Overview 

Secure:  Trusted by governments for keeping sensitive communications secure 

Powerful:  Full command and control of secure mobile communications network 

Flexible:  One device or many devices provisioned to the gateway 

Scalable:  Grows linearly as your enterprise and user population expand 

Manageable:  Ease of operation, administration, management, and provisioning 

 

Apriva Tenant Gateway Description

Supports Various Wireless Carrier Connections 

  • Private connection from the Apriva Tenant Gateway to multiple and diverse wireless carrier networks to mitigate public Internet attacks. 
  • Public connection to the Apriva Tenant Gateway allows users to globally access their infrastructure through roaming and carrier interoperability. 
  • Single entry point for enclaves requiring multiple, diverse wireless network services. 
  • Managed end-to-end service with common reliability and security characteristics from the mobile device all the way through to delivery to the enclave demarcation point. 

 

Simplified Secure Network Topology 

  • Provides centralized access point between wireless devices and enclaves 
  • Centralized perimeter security via firewall and active intrusion protection 

 

Command and Control Over 

  • Wireless devices and enclave access control 
  • Multi-protocol traffic routing 
  • Physical network security access 
  • Network security authentication 

 

Multi Protocol Routing 

  • Supports unclassified and classified HAIPE (High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor) communications. 
  • Manages dynamic wireless carrier mobile device IP changes to provide: 
  • True “push” email delivery to the mobile devices 
  • Support of applications and networks requiring static IP addresses 
  • Routing of both Classified and Unclassified protocols 
  • An infrastructure and framework to add other services over time 

 

Administration Server & Network Monitoring 

  • Mobile device provisioning/control by enclave administrators 
  • Detailed audit logs (errors, provisioning/control changes, trace) 
  • Traffic metrics 
  • SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) alerts and email notifications 

 

Apriva Tenant Gateway Benefits 

  • Direct connections to the wireless carriers, reducing the risk of remote attach by adversaries. 
  • Private and unpublished IP space mitigates distributed denial of service attacks. 
  • Eliminates the need to open a plethora of dangerous ports to the public Internet at customer enclaves to support wireless syncing. 
  • Provides a choke point which can be used to immediately disconnect and block a lost, stolen or compromised PDA from accessing sensitive network resources. 
  • Avoids 3rd party dependencies and outages 
  • No queuing or storing of messages (intelligent routing) 
  • No mix of non-enterprise traffic 
  • Active robust intrusion protection 
  • Direct multi wireless carrier connections 
  • Scales linearly as the numbers of networks and enclaves increases 
  • Provides interconnection between dissimilar network technologies such as GSM and CDMA.
