Protogate History
Until January, 2000, a company called
Simpact designed, manufactured, and marketed
data communications servers that link IP networks to
legacy and specialty WANs. With over 25 years of experience and
more than 10,000 installations worldwide, Simpact was the leading
supplier of legacy and specialty protocol solutions for
mission-critical applications.
Protogate is a descendent of Simpact, sharing many of the
same employees and customers. We at Protogate are committed to
continuing to develop
hardware and software to satisfy all data-transport needs.
Most of us were long-time
employees of Simpact, and have in-depth knowledge of Simpact's
products. Together we provide Protogate with expertise in every
product which was being supported by Simpact, as well as in the
products we've developed since Simpact closed.
Protogate's customers cover a wide
range of Fortune 1000 companies, including financial data service
providers, banks, telcoms, airlines, and utilities. We also
supply government agencies and military organizations throughout
the world.
Protogate Products
Freeway Data Communications Servers
The Freeway line of programmable data communications servers provide
multiprotocol WAN-to-LAN connectivity. Freeway servers interface with
a broad range of computer platforms including IBM, NT, DEC, HP and
Sun systems. When used with Protogate's Message Switch software, Freeways
can provide a smooth, phased migration path from serial-line WAN data
transport to IP data transport.
ICP Boards
Protogate's intelligent communications processor boards (ICPs) provide
high-speed real-time data communications.
ICP boards are the component of our Freeway servers which perform
the low-level serial-protocol data handling.
Protocols
Protogate's engineers have developed the industry's most extensive library of
legacy and specialty protocols, to satisfy many LAN-to-WAN networking
needs.
Our library contains over 100 protocols, which cover
every major industry, including financial data services,
transportation, manufacturing, utilities, government, and the
military.
