Cellcrypt looks to grow channel to address growing problem of mobile phone call security

Cellcrypt, a leading supplier of secure voice encryption solutions, is on a mission to appoint key channel partners worldwide to address the increasing concern about voice security. Many individuals and organisations have recognised the issue of voice security, however traditional encrypted mobile phones have severe limitations. Cellcrypt Mobile breaks through these barriers allowing resellers to offer dramatically improved solutions to existing customers and to reach customers whose problems they haven’t been able to solve until now.

While the risk of telephone calls being tapped has long been recognised, recent technology changes have increased the risk; this has led to a greater demand for voice security as individual’s and organisations’ integrity is threatened by risks to sensitive information in M&A transactions, corporate strategy, executive conference calls, contract negotiations, intellectual property discussions, investor relations, board discussions, increasingly across international boundaries.

Until now, secure mobile phone solutions have used the CSD data channel to transmit calls, which creates three major drawbacks: poor voice quality; long latency; and the inability to make international calls reliably. Cellcrypt Mobile makes secure calls over a mobile internet connection, allowing it to overcome all these issues, with the added benefit of low cost calls.

Cellcrypt’s new programme creates opportunities for partners to reach new and existing customers with a highly differentiated product that generates recurring revenues. The programme offers a strong financial incentive programme; a complete training curriculum; access to technical support services; and marketing, selling, and skills enablement.

Cellcrypt Mobile is a software application that, when installed on standard smartphones, encrypts voice calls between the mobile phones without impacting call quality. Cellcrypt Mobile uses high grade encryption and a very efficient VOIP implementation to deliver secure voice calls with low latency across 3G, WiFi, and GPRS networks.

"The only way that secure mobile voice calls can be delivered with the ease of use, quality, latency, and global capability that today’s users expect is by using secure VOIP, such as is used in Cellcrypt Mobile,” says Polly Galita, regional director of channel development at Cellcrypt. "With the increase in demand, we now need new channel partners that can deliver our products. These may range from traditional secure phone resellers to security resellers who want to extend their portfolio.”
