HOW IT WORKS
WHATS IN IT FOR YOU
DIRECT TUNNELLING
Direct IP Tunnel
IP communication between two remote endpoints.
A remote operator use licensed software on his computer to communicate with, program or configure the remote endpoint.
PLC, HMI, SCADA, Engineering stations, IoT, Computers, Network equipment. Surveillance equipment, etc.
- Dedicated SW Client on the operator device
- Network communication
- Permanent or Time-based access
- Identity-based granular access control
- Network-agnostic Bifrost Units, enabling simultaneous IP connectivity across multiple isolated networks and endpoints.
CLIENTLESS ACCESS
KVM Access
Native access to a single endpoint and ensure that all data is processed locally on the device.
A remote operator requires local keyboard, video and mouse to operate the endpoint with onsite capabilities.
E.g., Offline Access, OS Reinstall, System Reboot, BIOS Access.
Legacy computers, Physical Servers, Engineering stations, etc.
- Browser-based (browser to Bifrost)
- Remote Access Interface
- Session-based
- Control/Configure computers while they are offline
- Gain physical control and process data On-Premise without exposing any endpoints to the Internet.
- Retain Remote access during reboots
- Remote Hardware Diagnostics
- Cable configuration enable physical restrictions on remote access:
- USB + HDMI = video + Keyboard & mouse
- HDMI = video only
Serial Terminal / Console Access
Console access via an RS232 serial connection to an on-premises terminal
Remote troubleshooting, configuration, maintenance, and equipment operation through the endpoint’s native command-line interface.
Routers, switches, IoT devices, industrial equipment, embedded systems.
- Browser-based (browser to Bifrost)
- Remote Access Interface
- Session-based
- Control/Configure serial devices while they are offline
- Gain physical control and process data On-Premise without exposing any endpoints to the Internet.
- Retain Remote access during reboots
CLIENTLESS TUNNELLING
Clientless IP Tunnel
IP/Port communication between two remote endpoints.
A Remote operator is not allowed/able to install a SW client when establishing IP communication to the endpoint.
SCADA systems, PLCs, HMIs, network equipment, servers, industrial control systems.
- Bifrost-to-Bifrost (Unit to Unit)
- IP Tunnel Interface
- Session-based
- Creates a secure, isolated point-to-point IP connection between two Bifrost Units. This ensures endpoints and data are never exposed directly to the internet, effectively isolating the traffic from external networks.
- No software installation or endpoint reconfiguration.
Clientless Serial Tunnel
Serial (RS232) communication between two remote endpoints.
A remote operator needs encrypted RS232 communication between two serial devices.
OEM PCBs, Industrial controllers, legacy equipment, PLCs, RTUs, SCADA systems, sensors,
- Bifrost-to-Bifrost (Unit to Unit)
- Serial Tunnel Interface
- Session-based
- Creates a secure, isolated point-to-point Serial connection between two Bifrost Units. This ensures endpoints and data are never exposed directly to the internet, effectively isolating the traffic from external networks.
- No software installation or endpoint reconfiguration.
