Encore Networks, a developer of virtual private network (VPN) security solutions, said July 20 that Italian service provider Netdish deployed Encore’s VSR-30 broadband routers to provide satellite backup for terrestrial VPNs and private networks in remote locations throughout Europe.

According to Encore, if a terrestrial connection becomes unavailable, the network is automatically switched to a satellite link via the VSR-30 with no transmission delay.

Financial terms of the deployment were not disclosed.
