Transcrypt Launches Anti-Eavesdropping Radio Solution for Multiple Radio Brands.
Transcrypt International now offers the VoSec digital encryption module for Icom, Kenwood and Vertex two-way analog radios.
This advanced encryption technology is designed to prevent unwanted eavesdropping by enemies, terrorists and criminals. VoSec helps keep critical communications confidential, helping to improve homeland security and protect vital information and personnel.
The module offers 128-bit security, whereby unwanted listeners hear only "white noise," while the intended listener hears clear, natural sounding voice. VoSec security is available for both the U.S. and international markets. The VoSec MO80-760 was introduced last year for many models of Motorola Professional series radios.
"Transcrypt's new VoSec voice security modules enable analog radio users to benefit from one of the highest levels of digital encryption," said Phil Tegeler, vice president of sales for Transcrypt and the Secured Communications division of EFJ, Inc. The complete VoSec digital encryption solution includes modules for portable and mobile radios, a Keyload Radio Interface Box (KRIB) and proprietary keyloader software.
To maximize security over time, unique security parameters can be changed securely via wireline or over-the-air. In tactical situations, radios can be "killed" in an instant when they are lost or stolen, preventing adversaries from using stolen radios to their advantage.
