Here's the excerpt from the encryption application of the processor..........

Application
An increasing use of wireless technologies has initiated a greater need to
keep information secure. This demand for high capacity encryption
technology raises the requirements put on the hardware.

Today, telecom operators often meet these demands by employing specialized
and inflexible hardware solutions.

Challenge
To develop a flexible solution for accelerated encryption and compression
totally based on standard servers.

Mitrion solution
• Evaluation: Establishing the expected performance improvement.
• Implementation: Porting compression and encryption/decryption algorithms
to the Mitrion processor.
• Developing a complete high capacity Mitrion-powered encryption server.

Bottom line
1000 Mbps throughput instead of 50 Mbps - in a standard server.
