Hughes Network Systems and V-ONE Introduce Secure Satellite Solutions for
Government Use
DIRECWAY(R) with V-ONE SmartGate(R) Provides High Performance VPN Connectivity 


GERMANTOWN, Md., March 2  /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, Inc. (HNS),
the world's leading provider of broadband satellite solutions, and V- ONE
Corporation, a leading Internet security technology company, today announced the
availability of secure end-to-end satellite broadband solutions for the
government market. The NIST validated solutions meet U.S. Government
requirements for time-sensitive, reliable and secure information sharing.

HNS' DIRECWAY, operating with V-ONE SmartGate application layer SSL VPN
technology, delivers secure connectivity for federal, state and local
governments. V-ONE security software and appliances integrate seamlessly into
existing network infrastructures to provide end-to-end AES and 3DES data
encryption, strong two-factor user authentication and fine-grained access
control.

Clear performance gains are realized compared to IPSec VPN solutions due to the
manner in which V-ONE security software interacts with DIRECWAY protocol
accelerators. "Our test results have shown throughputs comparable to a
non-encrypted connection over the same satellite link," said George Spohn,
assistant vice president of Government Markets for Hughes Network Systems.

HNS satellite broadband solutions, marketed under the DIRECWAY brand, serve
companies that require immediate access to information. The DIRECWAY managed
network service with broadband connectivity available nationwide, provides a
secure and easy way to deliver sensitive, customized information to all
locations, whether across the continental US or within a region or even to
teleworkers at home. DIRECWAY allows for more efficient communication with
branches and delivery of managed content to multiple locations. Personnel in
remote offices can receive reliable, secure access to central databases and
high-speed access to real-time information.

"V-ONE is pleased to be working with Hughes Network Systems to serve the needs
of government users," said Margaret Grayson, president and CEO of V-ONE
Corporation.  "Secure high performance communication over satellite is important
to meet their remote access, information sharing and disaster recovery
requirements."  V-ONE secure access solutions are deployed throughout the public
sector and have met the rigorous standards of the U.S. Government for large
scale deployments in the Department of Justice and Department of Defense.

V-ONE's patented technology is designed to work efficiently over IP, satellite,
and wireless networks with virtually no impact on performance.  V- ONE SmartGate
is DIRECWAY Certified by Hughes Network Systems and FIPS 140 validated for
Government use by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
