Macquarie Telecom Secure Remote Access Service
is a secure and flexible remote access solution for mobile workers,
tele-workers and roaming users travelling domestically or overseas.
Through Secure Remote Access, they can access via any internet connection
to their corporate intra and be able to use their business applications
while they are away from their offices.
Secure Remote Access service uses the latest generation carrier
grade Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology from
Juniper Networks – The Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform.
It provides the ability for a remote device on an internet connection
to access their end user network securely, via 128 bit or 168 bit
encryption through the use of a standard web browser.

SSL VPN vs IPSec VPN
SSL VPN is the new breed of “clientless” remote access VPN that
require no additional software other than the web browser on the
local device. Read more about an IPSec VPN
vs SSL
Advantages of our Secure Remote Access solution vs Legacy IPSec
Remote Access solution:
- An SSL based VPN allows access via any web enabled device
regardless of its location around the world
- SSL VPNs can be configured to check end-point security (e.g..
Ensure the remote host has adequate firewall and anti virus
protection in place before allowing access)
- The end user device does not need to have dedicated client
software installed and maintained.
- User controls and management can be administered from a
central point, without device recalls and/or user involvement.
- SSL uses standard https port, so there will not be firewall
and NAT transversal issues as often encountered by IPSec tunnels.
Macquarie Telecom is reducing the impediments to business growth
by making corporate networks accessible everywhere.
