Shelby 1U PQC Gateway Series

The Shelby 1U PQC Gateway Series is a high-performance cybersecurity gateway engineered to enable seamless adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for existing enterprise and industrial infrastructures. Powered by Intel® Core™ processors supporting 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen platforms, it delivers validated low-latency PQC processing with approximately 2.3% handshake overhead and support for up to 20,000 concurrent connections, while preserving existing server architectures through a non-intrusive reverse proxy deployment model. With enterprise-grade hybrid TLS, TPM 2.0 private key protection, hardware bypass networking, High Availability (HA) support, and Syslog-compatible logging capabilities, the Shelby 1U Series provides a future-ready security platform for defense, finance, telecommunications, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
