TACLANE-FLEX (KG-175F) Encryptor
The Next Generation of Network Encryption
It's Time to Transition to TACLANE®-FLEX, the Smallest, Lightest, Most Efficient 1 Gb/s Full-Duplex HAIPE
The TACLANE-FLEX is NSA Certified and ACC Compliant to protect information classified Top Secret/SCI and below. ACC Certified software includes support for Modern Agile Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) for disadvantaged networks and applications like SATCOM HAIPE.
The TACLANE-FLEX customizable encryption platform provides the flexibility needed to support today’s advanced cyber security missions – including insider focused threats and external cyber-attacks. With the same form and fit of the widely deployed TACLANE-Micro, the TACLANE-FLEX is the next generation crypto modernization product in a trusted encryption portfolio. Designed for efficient performance and SWAP-C, the TACLANE-FLEX is scalable to support 100 Mb/s to 1 Gb/s full-duplex throughput and is enhanced with advanced features that support additional networking and security capability.
Power Management Feature provides users greater control over the device's power consumption, resulting in increased power efficiency, and decreased operating and touch temperatures and related lifecycle costs.

Agile Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) Software
Improve Performance over Disadvantaged Networks
The Agile Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) software boosts network availability and speeds up performance in disadvantaged environments. By overcoming issues like underutilized links and slow transmission rates, Agile PEP delivers faster, more reliable access for mobile users—without the limitations of standard TCP. Request our whitepaper to learn more.
Render Useless Zeroize (RUZ)
Unattended Operations Security
The Render Useless Zeroize (RUZ) feature provides a fast, simple way to make the TACLANE inoperable and inaccessible by eliminating critical security parameters, ensuring adversaries cannot access or operate the device. Ideal for high-risk or unattended environments, RUZ provides fast, reliable protection when equipment is at risk. Request our whitepaper to learn more.
Agile Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
Layer 2 Passthrough
Agile Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) adds Layer 2 VLAN tagged/Non-IP Ethernet capability to TACLANE encryptors, enabling simultaneous HAIPE and Layer 2 traffic on a per-packet basis with no infrastructure changes. VLAN-enabled TACLANEs remain fully interoperable with standard HAIPE encryptors while delivering cost savings, greater bandwidth efficiency, and built-in failover and redundancy.
Trade-In Program
A trade-in program will be offered for the TACLANE-FLEX, allowing users of the current HAIPE INEs to take advantage of the new customizable encryption platform's scalable speed and cybersecurity features.
