- Virtual Private Networks of the Newest Generation - Less Clicks, More Transparency and More Cost-Efficiency.

Nuremberg based NCP Engineering GmbH already offers all necessary components for the simple and transparent use of a virtual private network.

The central VPN management with network access control (NAC), change management, integrated Radius-server and interfaces to identity and access management systems (IAM) ensure the required network transparency.

Some of this trickiness is due to refraction, or the change in speed and thus direction of light waves as they move from air to water.

Wait a minute!? Isn’t the speed of light constant?

Yes. But only in a vacuum.
