Cellcrypt announces the industry’s first secure, field-deployable PBX

LONDON, 31st March 2009 - Cellcrypt, the leading supplier of mobile and fixed line voice security solutions, today announces the launch of Cellcrypt PBX IAB a robust,  portable PBX solution. Cellcrypt’s PBX IAB is a field deployable solution that supports secure Voice over IP (VoIP) landline-to-landline and landline-to-mobile calls.  This makes it possible to rapidly establish a totally private, secure fixed and mobile communications telephone network, linking any number of mobile devices and fixed line phones anywhere in the world.  All Cellcrypt PBX IAB requires is a fixed or mobile internet connection.

Cellcrypt PBX IAB provides immediate ‘incident room’ communications in the field, delivering a local PBX with the ability to call other landlines and mobiles securely. Other applications range from disaster recovery and use by mergers and acquisitions negotiation teams to deployment in remote hostile environments where the ability to provide secure voice communications is paramount

Weighing around 10 Kilograms, Cellcrypt PBX IAB can be housed in a rugged wheeled box, for use in all weather environments or installed in a vehicle using conventional mountings and rack systems or  under-seat placement. Cellcrypt technology is currently undergoing certification to the FIPS 140-2 standard approved by the US National Institute of Standard (NIST).

Cellcrypt PBX IAB is the latest addition to Cellcrypt’s new generation of mobile and fixed line voice security solutions that secure existing PBX and mobile deployments, as well as offering a level of voice quality, low latency, security and international coverage never before experienced. Cellcrypt Mobile is an easy-to-use, next generation secure software solution that runs on standard mobile phones across GPRS, EDGE, 3G, EV-DO and WiFi networks. Cellcrypt Mobile already supports Nokia Smartphones and Window Mobile devices – and support for other platforms will soon be available.

“Traditional voice security solutions have almost exclusively run over old Circuit Switched Data (CSD) networks which provide poor call quality and frequently fail across international boundaries,” says Simon Bransfield-Garth, CEO at Cellcrypt.

“At Cellcrypt, we provide easy-to-use solutions based on VoIP and commercially available mobile phones and desk phones. While Cellcrypt PBX IAB is particularly targeted at military, blue-light and crisis management applications, it is ideal for any organisation that needs to set up a secure voice network in the field such as oil and mineral exploration companies,” adds Bransfield-Garth.
