Description
Key Benefits
- FIPS 140-2 Validation: Switches the BR1 ENT into FIPS mode and uses only validated cryptographic modules.
- Government Compliance: Meets security requirements for U.S. federal agencies and defense contractors.
- Seamless Integration: No hardware changes required – the license is activated via key on the existing router.
- Perpetual License: One-time purchase for the lifetime of the device, with no recurring fees.
- Central Management: Compatible with Peplink InControl for policy-based enforcement of FIPS mode across the network.
- VPN Security: Ensures FIPS-compliant encryption for SpeedFusion and IPsec tunnels.
- Audit Assurance: Simplifies proof of cryptographic compliance during security audits.
Compliance and Security
The FIPS 140-2 standard defines requirements for cryptographic modules mandated by the U.S. government and many international organizations. With this license, the BR1 ENT is placed into a mode where all encryption, authentication, and key management processes are executed exclusively through validated libraries. This makes the router suitable for environments that must process Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or other sensitive data in accordance with NIST guidelines.
Easy Activation and Management
The license is provided as a digital key and can be applied via the BR1 ENT’s web interface or centrally through Peplink InControl. Once activated, the router automatically boots into FIPS mode without requiring manual firmware replacement or reinstallation. Administrators can monitor FIPS status via the dashboard and export compliance reports when needed. The license is device-bound and remains intact even after firmware updates or configuration changes.
Use Cases
Typical applications include branch offices of federal agencies, military outposts, police stations, emergency response centers, and companies in the aerospace and defense sectors. Anywhere a compact, fanless router with LTE and WAN connectivity is deployed and FIPS compliance must be demonstrated, this license provides a legally secure foundation. When combined with SpeedFusion VPN, it enables end-to-end FIPS-compliant site-to-site connections.
