Three alternatives for a secure connection to the data center
What is the TI gateway? - The simplified connection to the telematics infrastructure!
The secunet TI Gateway (TIG) is a service that connects medical care providers to the telematics infrastructure (TI), the platform for healthcare applications in Germany. All medical care providers - regardless of size and whether mobile or stationary - can easily connect to the TI and all specialist services available via the TIG as a Service. All the medical care provider needs is a software or hardware client, which we provide.
The TI gateway consists of our high-performance highspeedconnector and the so-called access module. It replaces the decentralized connection to the TI via local connectors and offers "TI newcomers" an easy introduction to the TI.
Your solution in detail
Flexible to connect
The most flexible connection for all applications - software or hardware clients
The connection to the TI must be simple and fit the application environment. The secunet TI gateway therefore offers two main options:
Option 1: Connection via software client
The TI software client is installed on the end device and establishes the connection to the TI gateway and thus to the TI. If there was already a connection to the TI via a connector, the software takes over the IP of the previous connector on the network side. This makes integration possible with minimal effort.
Variant 2: Connection via hardware client
The major advantage of the hardware client is that it is permanently connected to the TI gateway independently of the end devices. It creates a clear support boundary, optimum availability and permanent monitoring of the function and connection.
secunet offers the TISeCC (TI Service Client CCP) hardware client, which is based on the secure secunet medical connect platform. In addition to the connection to the TI gateway, this enables the installation of additional applications such as firewall, remote access and any other 3rd party apps. - A real added value for service providers.
Flexibility also includes role-based access and the central administration of operator, reseller, DVO and user interfaces.

Migratable
Fast migration with minimal intervention in operations - from today to TI 2.0
Time is money, and this applies in particular to downtime at the service provider. This is why secunet places particular emphasis on fast, simple migration for the TI gateway. We not only consider the change from connector to TI gateway, but also the entire possible chain from the connector, via the possible use of TIaaS with connectors hosted in the data center, via the TI gateway, to TI 2.0. The respective migration is tool-supported, remote-capable and uses simple mechanisms to avoid adjustments to the network. For example, a TI Gateway client in the network replaces the previous connector unnoticed.
Die Integration in bestehende Systeme verläuft simpel: Wir nutzen weitestgehend unverändert die bereits vorhandenen Schnittstellen, die schon beim Konnektor ansprechbar waren. Dadurch müssen Systeme nicht oder nur gering angepasst werden.

Efficient
Customizable performance for each customer - both during setup and during operation
The secunet TI gateway is based on high-performance components that work in the background, particularly as a high-speed connector. In order to meet customer requirements at all times, the performance can be adjusted upwards and downwards during setup and also during operation. This means that the performance required is always available in a completely transparent manner.
All instances on the TI gateway are managed automatically and are highly available. If an error does occur, a quick failover switches from a potentially defective component to a replacement component.

Manageable
Role-based access - fully accessible via REST or management tools
The TI-Gateway can be managed for all roles prescribed by gematik and has comprehensive monitoring. Thanks to the comprehensive REST API, the TI gateway and all its components can be easily integrated into existing or future customer portals. The components are managed automatically in the background. User-friendly tools are available should it be necessary to access the backend.

(Failure)Safe
The entire system is redundant, intelligently controlled and permanently monitored
A decisive advantage of the central TI gateway over the individual connectors is the safeguarding of availability. Experts look after the highly redundant system 24/7, and service providers are not affected. The components also have an intelligent control system. For example, hardware failures are directly absorbed by other instances - without the service provider noticing.
Overall, the security of the TI gateway is substantial:
- All virtual conector instances on the high-speed connector are strictly separated.
- All user data is encrypted and secured.
- All components are subject to certification and approval.

Green/sustainable
The previous secunet connector? - No electronic waste!
gematik specifies the switch from previous connectors to the TI gateway. However, this does not mean that the powerful hardware, which has been rolled out thousands of times, has reached the end of its service life. At secunet, the connector is given a second life.
We collect the old secunet connectors from the market, sort out the best ones for recycling and load them with the
secunet medical connect
software after all data has been completely deleted. It serves as an edge platform for applying various services. We equip medical connect with the TI Software Client CCP (TISoCC).This means that the hardware with completely new software serves as a TI service client in the service provider environment. The box can accommodate additional services such as firewall, remote administration and more, and can be intuitively orchestrated via central management.
Win-win: The hardware of the connector can continue to be used as a multiflexible client with new software - good for the environment and good for the customer!

Scalable
Connection of any number of customers, card terminals or device identities
The TI gateway is not subject to any performance limits when connecting devices: Any number of customers, card terminals or device identities can be created or connected and, depending on the required performance, each virtual connector instance can be adapted to be freely scalable. Device identities can be scaled effortlessly through the use of hardware security modules.
By using standard hardware from our partners, the system can be upgraded transparently for the user in the background at any time.

Reliable
Strong partnership for a future-oriented TI connection: solid and powerful
With secunet and Worldline, two powerful partners have joined forces who have comprehensively proven their expertise in the field of telematics infrastructure:
As the market leader in the connector environment, secunet benefits from experience with over 80,000 connectors in the field and was the first provider in the market to receive approval for the first version of the high-speed connector. The second version of the high-speed connector forms the heart of the secunet TI gateway and runs on Lenovo's powerful and secure hardware.
Worldline, a provider of eHealth card terminals (eHKT) and payment experts, among other things, contributes - in addition to many years of experience and expertise in networking and operation within and outside the German healthcare system - a certified connectivity platform for the operation of the secunet TI gateway, which is already in use with over 100,000 devices in a resilient and flexible manner.
The secunet TI gateway comes directly from the manufacturer. Together with Worldline, we offer a full service from ordering and billing to support - 24/7. Your requirements are integrated directly into our development cycles.
This enables us to work with our customers to take TI connectivity to the next level towards TI 2.0 - simple, fail-safe, data protection-compliant and innovative.
