Operating at speeds up to 52Mbps, the KIV-7M is the first Crypto to attain the NSA's new guidelines under the Crypto Modernisation Initiative. It provides an LVDS / EIA644 interface, and this is not commonly found on Telecoms equipment unless of course you come to Metrodata.

LVDS is not a new interface to us, and before the KIV-7M came out we were already supporting LVDS on our products.

CONNECTING THE KIV-7M ON ITS RED SIDE TO IP ROUTERS / SWITCHES

This utilises the Metrodata LV2000.  The LV2000 enables the connection of an Ethernet Interface on a Router or Switch to an LVDS/EIA644 Crypto. The LV2000 supports up to 52Mbps bitrate and also has the added feature of Automatic Crypto Resync.

As the KIV-7M is a new crypto, we are still in early stages of finding out different ways of connecting it to other equipment. Examples of these are connecting KIV-7M LVDS / EIA644 to:

• RED SIDE - IP ROUTER INTERFACE
• RED SIDE - HSSI ROUTER INTERFACE
• BLACK SIDE - HSSI SATCOM MODEM OR RADIO INTERFACE
