Stealth Networks’ Secure VPN solution enables semiconductor manufacturers and their partners to securely and reliably share large amounts of data over the Internet. The application neutral Stealth solution works with multiple Internet access technologies and seamlessly integrates with existing network infrastructure. With minimal setup requirements and mobile functionality, the Secure VPN solution outperforms competition in high volume and streaming data transfer environments.

As performance demands on silicon based solutions increase, microprocessor and flash memory chip designs become more complex. To produce silicon chips that match these complex design specifications, manufactures need sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment which is expensive. Maximizing utilization for these expensive oxidizers, photoresistors, lithographs, etchers and ionizers is critical for reducing costs and increasing profits. Hence, every chip manufacturer wants to minimize equipment downtime and mean time to repair (MTTR).

Since equipment is complex, the biggest hurdle to minimal downtime and MTTR is the lack of real-time expertise in the factory. On-site experts are very expensive, not always available and can be overwhelmed by multiple issues. e-Diagnostics and similar applications can provide on-demand, real-time expertise at any location. However, the effective deployment of remote diagnostic and repair applications presents many challenges.

One of the major challenges is the availability of a high performing, reliable and secure data transfer solution that can bridge numerous, disparate supplier networks. For the remote diagnostic applications to provide any value, they need to transfer large amounts of data between the affected tool and the remotely located tool expert. In most cases, this data is highly sensitive and proprietary, the loss or theft of which can have serious cost and liability implications. Additionally, building a network connecting multiple OEM manufacturers involves dealing with multiple network access technologies and architectures.

To realize the full benefit of e-diagnostics and similar applications, semiconductor manufacturers require an access agnostic Internet based reliable data transfer solution that can securely transport large quantities of data with minimum overhead and performance penalties while integrating with diverse network infrastructure.

Stealth Network solutions allow secure, fast and reliable transfer of voice, video and data over the Internet. Privacy and confidentiality are assured while saving time, effort and money. Our solutions integrate seamlessly with existing wireline and wireless network infrastructure and interoperate with legacy systems allowing firms to optimize their existing network security investments.
