The privately held network technology company,
Mancala Networks (www.mancalanetworks.com), specialized in the development of innovative IP
network control and management products, today announced the delivery of a new, high
availability RADIUS authentication system for SITA?s AIRCOM IP platform.
SITA AIRCOM IP services enable airlines to easily and securely automate their flight briefing and
reporting processes, by connecting aircraft to broadband radio links, in order to realize significant
productivity gains and cost savings.
Mancala Networks was selected to provide a new, highly available and secure Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting (AAA) RADIUS platform to be deployed within the SITA AIRCOM IP
architecture.
The complex, six-month international design, development and integration project was delivered on
time and within budget.
Damien McCormack, SITA Portolio Director, Aircraft Solutions, said: “Mancala Networks is a leader
in the development of highly available RADIUS authentication systems and has delivered a
scalable and robust authentication platform for SITA AIRCOM IP which will be critical airline
infrastructure for the industry?s new ?Digital Aircraft?.”
