According to Faith B. Power, Ambriel Technologies ChiefExecutive Officer, this new technology is significant in that itprovides the user the ability to access IPv6 and IPv4 Internet usingsingle-stack IPv6 protocol, without having to make large capitalinvestments in IPv6 system changes.
 Our unique translation design is truly transparent to the end user, explained Power.  It is agnostic of what infrastructure it is on,making it compatible with encrypted and unencrypted networks,including IPv4, she added.
As a result, Power said, the technology allows users to maintaintheir current IPv4 equipment life cycle schedules and migrate toIPv6 at their own pace, yet have the ability to exceed standard IPv6capabilities without wholesale changes to their current systems.
IPv6 capabilities that can be achieved with the technology include:
extending oneÂ's network to remote locations.
facilitating end-to-end secure transmissions betweenlocations.
modular encryption that supports 3DES, Blowfish,Twofish, AES, and most other block ciphers allencryptions are long key and rapidly changing pairs toprovide some protection against birthday and rainbow tableexploits.
Currently, the prototype technology is patent-pending and hasproven viable for a two-port 10/100 MB single-device mode forsmall office applications. Ambriel Technologies officials haveindicated confidence as they embark on adapting the technologyfor gateway mode applications, specifically for a five-port 10/100MB device and a five-port 10/100 GB device for high-volumethroughput.
 The se devices using the breakthrough technology, known as theATX-Series, are planned for manufacturing and will possibly beavailable to the consumer in the next several months, said Power. Ambriel Technologies can customize a device on an individualbasis right now, she added.
Oscar Roeder, Ambriel Technologies Chief Operating Officer,indicated that development of the new translation technology wasprecipitated by the technology worldÂ's migration over the pastseveral years toward the new Internet Protocol (version 6).
Roeder pointed to several significant events that are leading theway toward migration in the U.S.:
The Department of Defense (DoD) established an IPv6Transition Office in March 2004, to provide overallcoordination, common engineering solutions, and technicalguidance for the adoption of IPv6 across the DoD.
On August 2, 2005, the Federal Office of Management andBudget issued a mandate for all government agenciesÂ'technology infrastructures to be working toward IPv6compliance by June of 2008.
On May 7, 2007, the American Registry for InternetNumbers (ARIN) Board of Trustees passed a resolutionadvising the Internet technical community that only 19percent of the IPv4 address space remains and thatmigration to IPv6 will be necessary to allow continuedgrowth of the Internet.
 Ambriel TechnologiesÂ' new proprietary transition solution allowsusers in both the public and private sectors to meet their timeframes in being IPv6 compliant using their current equipmentconfigurations. The benefits of IPv6 for a user include greatercommunications security, higher speed and accuracy, improvedQuality of Service, more mobility, and simpler administration, Roeder said.
 For example, companies that are subject to regulations associatedwith the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2005 (accounting and reporting),and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of1996 (HIPAA), related to information privacy, are especiallyinterested in an IPv6 solution such as ours, he added.
Ambriel Technologies, founded in July 2006, is based inWinchester, Virginia. The company is engaged in technologyresearch and development that supports, enhances and expands thecapabilities of global communications. Ambriel Technologiesoffers strategic top-end technology solutions and consulting thatsupport business objectives, combined with bottom-end networkengineering that provides for appropriate and often customizedapplication of solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner. Itsmulti-disciplined approach makes Ambriel Technologies a  go to company for both technology solutions and implementation. Muchof the companyÂ's attention, to date, has been focused on the designof intelligent devices and services to help bridge the gap betweenIPv4 and IPv6.
