When
high-ranking managers and officials converse on mobile phones, their
conversations often contain information that is intended only for the person on
the other end: It is essential that details about product developments,
financial data, strategic and political plans do not become public knowledge
ahead of time. IT officers are responsible for ensuring secure encrypted
communications on many different types of mobile phones (which are often used
for both private and business calls).
The TopSec
Mobile from Rohde
& Schwarz SIT meets precisely these requirements. Smartphones can be used
as usual, with no restrictions. For a confidential call, users simply use the
crypto headset, which is activated via Bluetooth®. The conversation is now
securely encrypted. The TopSec Mobile now supports iPhones as well as Android
smartphones. Support of other platforms is planned.
"The
TopSec Mobile combines proven security against smartphone manipulation with
maximum flexibility for the user," states Winfried Wirth, President of
Rohde & Schwarz SIT GmbH. "iPhone users can now also benefit from our
practical, easy-to-use solution for absolutely secure telephony. The TopSec
Mobile can be used anywhere in the world. The R&S VoIP-SERVER S110 has been
optimized for the TopSec Mobile and can be used for the necessary call setup
and voice communications. The standardized VoIP protocol also makes it possible
to use public VoIP providers.
