Armour Comms and Bittium have teamed up to provide a NATO approved secure communications solution.
The new solution which runs on Bittium’s Tough Mobile 2 series of ruggedised and secure smartphones ensures voice and video conversations, and the associated files and attachments, stay completely private, no matter how hostile the environment.
The Bittium/Armour Mobile secure comms solution provides, it is claimed, “out-of-the-box” security with everything needed for rapid provisioning of end users contained within the box. Devices are provisioned using a deep-link QR code from Armour and Bittium’s Secure Suite device management software. This avoids, it’s claimed, the ‘weak link’ of relying on SMS messages for authentication codes and allows the use of Armour Mobile over networks where Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic is blocked or restricted.
Sammy Loitto, Senior Vice President, Sales at Bittium said: “Security-conscious sectors are an important market for Bittium where we supply our secure and ruggedised smartphones in a variety of options, often without any consumer-grade apps that may compromise security. The Armour Mobile software application is NATO approved, providing the ideal solution for handling data classified at NATO Restricted. Armour Mobile is easy and intuitive to use, further enhancing our joint offering.”
