Alcatel-Lucent IPSec Client software lets you provide high-value remote access VPN services for telecommuters and mobile workers with PCs running Microsoft Windows operating systems.
 Unlike competitive products, the Lucent IPSec Client is expressly built to support carrier-managed IP services. Standards-based IP Security (IPSec) features and centralized management combine with diverse value-added capabilities to deliver a totally secure, readily scalable solution that is easy to install, administer, and use.
A built-in 'Personal Firewall' ensures protection even for always-on cable and DSL connections. Users can surf the Web, log into an enterprise-wide intranet VPN, or connect to multi-party extranets safely and simply regardless of the connection mode, dial-up modem, WAN router, DSL, cable, or wireless link.
Smooth interoperability across the entire Alcatel-Lucent IP services portfolio enables you to offer price and performance options that span your customers' complete remote access VPN needs. When deployed with VPN Firewall Brick platforms, Alcatel-Lucent IPSec Client software is completely integrated and centrally managed by Alcatel-Lucent Security Management Server (AL-SMS) software, simplifying administration of large-scale remote access VPNs.
IPSec Client and LSMS software and VPN Firewall Brick platforms are key components of Alcatel-Lucent's comprehensive IP services solutions portfolio. Alcatel-Lucent solutions leverage a unique, application-aware Service Intelligent Architecture to help you dynamically tailor business-quality IP services to individual user requirements.
