PESA releases Secura VDS-IP for secure command and control


PESA has announced the official re- lease of its Secura VDS-IP platform for highly secure 4K video, audio, control, and KVM distribution. Secura protects multiple classifications of content from both internal and external threats, whether in a sensitive compartmented informa- tion

venues. For defence applications, the intelligence community, other govern- ment agencies, and major corpora- tions, Secura supports a highly secure C2 centre providing continuity of oper- ations (COOP).


Secura is the only live enterprise-ar- chitected video distribution platform with embedded encryption in all flows from source to glass. The platform fa- cilitates better situational awareness by

cable management by at least 50%. Plus, Secura’s small endpoints can be mounted behind monitors or racked beneath desks, further clearing the workspace.

technology offi- cer Scott Barel- la. “For a VDS- IP solution to be good enough for government and military


systems, all IP components must be encrypted, including endpoints and control interfaces such as touch pan- els. Secura meets that goal.” PESA’s long-standing history of pro- viding mission-critical solutions to many military and civilian government facilities


demonstrates the quality


and reliability of PESA systems. With the release of Secura, the ultra-se- cure workflows at the heart of all mis- sion-critical applications can be trust- ed to provide accurate, high-quality situational awareness for the best de- cisions every time.


Shure & SFL provide Covid secure solution for care home residents


Shure, partnered with SFL, to provide a Covid-secure solution to Royal Star & Garter care homes allowing resi- dents to stay connected to family and friends throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. The impact of Coronavi- rus has been devastating for the care home industry. The risk of transmis- sion means that family and friends


cannot visit care home residents under the circumstances that they are used to. Royal Star & Garter, a registered charity providing award winning care for veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia in their state-of-the-art Homes wanted to en- able residents to stay as connected as possible to their families during this


difficult time and so working with SFL Group, they designed Covid-secure visiting rooms.
