RESTON, Va. -- In response to the recent concerns regarding cellphone call security, Cellcrypt (www.cellcrypt.com) has launched a Wi-Fi® version of its secure cellphone voice calling application that is free to BlackBerry® smartphones users for 90 days.
Aimed at corporate and government employees, this offer provides a quick and easy 'rapid response' solution for senior executives who have become increasingly concerned about the risk of cellphone voice call interception – especially when travelling abroad – following recent news of advances in cellphone call hacking.
With Cellcrypt, a travelling executive can use their BlackBerry smartphone to make calls over a Wi-Fi network to another Cellcrypt user anywhere in the world and be assured in the knowledge that the content of their call is protected to government-level standards.
A recent survey conducted by ABI Research on behalf of Cellcrypt, showed that while 80% of businesses regard cellphone calls as being at least as vulnerable as email, only 18% have adequate cellphone voice call security solutions in place.
In addition to protecting corporate information, concern for personal safety while travelling abroad is a common reason for securing voice calls. According to the research, 70% of businesses have executives that travel to countries requiring a higher than normal level of concern for safety, and 92% of those consider it the organization's duty to provide mechanisms to protect employees' personal security when travelling.
Cellcrypt will be provisioning the Cellcrypt Mobile application to eligible participants at Mobile World Congress, 15-18 February 2010 at the BlackBerry booth in Hall 8, stand number 8B178. Alternatively, organizations can apply at any time by contacting Cellcrypt at info@cellcrypt.com.
Cellcrypt Mobile provides end-to-end voice encryption on BlackBerry smartphones, ensuring that important cellphone conversations remain confidential. Utilizing the IP data channel it supports cellular (2.5G, 3G, 3.5G), Wi-Fi and satellite networks and delivers government-grade security in an easy-to-use application that makes highly secure calling as easy as making a normal phone call. It is compliant with FIPS 140-2 when used on a FIPS validated BlackBerry smartphone and configuration.
The free for 90 days offer is available for up to 10 handsets per company for use over Wi-Fi, using a Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry smartphone. A full Cellcrypt Mobile licence can be purchased at anytime which also includes secure calling over cellular networks (including 2.5G, 3G and 3.5G).
