Highest security level Proven red/black separation using crypto equipment and trusted filters R&S®STANAG 5066 meets the most stringent customer security requirements by providing strict red/black separation through modern crypto devices and trusted filters in the control lines. Support of various crypto equipment For the encryption of mission-critical data, external online crypto devices can be installed on the data path between the R&S®STANAG 5066 server (red side) and the HF radio/ modem (black side). The following crypto devices are supported: ❙ ELCRODAT 4-2 ❙ R&S®MMC3000 ❙ BID 1650 ❙ Crypto...

Expansion of IP connections via HF radio lines Support of IP type-of-service (TOS) field Use of IP-based customer applications via HF radio networks R&S®STANAG 5066 enables LAN/WAN IP-based customer applications to communicate via wireless HF networks. TCP/UDP/IP-based data exchange is provided for various IP applications. However, the limited data throughput and the larger transmission delay of HF radio links must be taken into consideration. These constraints influence the type of TCP/UDP/IP-based applications that can reasonably be supported over HF. The STANAG 5066 standard calls for support...

Efficient e-mail and fax transmission Transmission of e-mails and faxes via HF radio networks R&S®STANAG 5066 supports the exchange of plain-text e-mails and attachments using the STANAG 5066 CFTP or HMTP clients. STANAG 5066 clients are defined as adapters that applications can connect to. Available STANAG 5066 e-mail clients STANAG 5066 CFTP client The compressed file transfer protocol (CFTP) client provides the most bandwidth-efficient exchange of data. For this reason, CFTP is the preferred client for the transmission of e-mails via HF. STANAG 5066 HMTP client The HF mail transfer protocol...

Integrated standard e-mail server R&S®STANAG 5066 features a standard e-mail server, which provides SMTP/POP3/IMAP services. Interoperability with standard e-mail programs Customers’ e-mail programs such as Windows­ Outlook Express™, which are not included with R&S®STANAG 5066, can be configured to connect directly to the R&S®STANAG 5066 e-mail server. Reliability in HF radio transmissions When an e-mail is forwarded to the R&S®STANAG 5066 e‑mail server, the server must ensure reliable transmission of this e-mail over the HF network. If HF transmission conditions do not allow immediate error-free...

Interoperability with legacy applications Support of legacy message handling (ACP 127) COSS client R&S®STANAG 5066 provides a character-oriented serial stream (COSS) client to integrate applications based on serial line communications (e.g. ACP 127) for interoperable HF data exchange. This COSS client provides a serial interface for applications that exchange data according to any serial data format defined in annex F of the STANAG 5066 standard. ACP 127 support In military applications, formal message handling in line with ACP 127 is widely used. The COSS client provides two enhancements for...
