Rostec's Ruselectronics holding has started producing updated service routers, now with functionality for the banking sector. Developed by engineers at the Istok Research and Production Enterprise named after Shokin (part of Ruselectronics), the device can be used as a communication device for ATMs via wired or wireless networks, thanks to special data transmission protocols with support for encrypted tunnels.
A service router is telecommunications equipment for corporate-class access-level networks. The devices have a unique data transmission traffic processing algorithm and a built-in switching processor. In order to use this telecommunications equipment in the banking sector, Istok has refined its software and achieved the necessary parameters for working with ATMs.
The updated service routers for the banking sector support the network functionality of encrypted tunnels for connecting ATMs to the router in the bank's central offices, as well as virtual private network protocols with the ability to dynamically create tunnels between nodes (DMVPN). The service router software is entirely a Russian development. The hardware platform is powered by the Baikal BE-T1000 processor based on the MIPS architecture.
More than two thousand routers have now been produced and are being tested in the networks of partner banks. Istok notes that they are ready to increase production volumes "in accordance with market demands."
Theoretically, Istok's service routers will be sold not only in Russia, but also in the EAEU countries at a minimum: they have the status of telecommunications equipment of Russian origin (TORP), as well as a certificate of conformity for communication facilities and a certificate of conformity of the Customs Union.
