Sectra Communications - Voice Encryption and Secure Communications Systems

Sectra has evolved as a pioneer and driving force in the development of voice encryption technology, and the Tiger brand is the culmination of these efforts. The latest Tiger product, Tiger XS, is a personal voice encryptor. This intelligent device excels in terms of security and flexibility enabling the user to encrypt telephone conversations over ordinary telephone lines, GSM, ISDN and IP-networks as well as via satellite systems.

Today, Sectra’s Tiger are used by decision-makers, officials and the military in more than half of all EU member countries.

Secure telephone communications

Tiger XS is the most flexible and secure product for eavesdrop-protection of telephone conversations on the market. Tested and certified by both the EU and NATO up to and including the "secret" high-security level, the product is further certified by many government authorities for national security purposes.

Voice, data and fax encryption

Tiger clients appreciate the ease with which the Tiger XS can be used and its ability to encrypt calls from wherever they are situated. Telephone calls are protected over ordinary telephone lines, GSM, ISDN and IP networks as well as via satellite systems. Tiger XS can also be used for encrypted fax and secure data transfers, features also commonly in use today.

Secure satellite communications

Military personnel operating in areas with inadequate telecom infrastructure invariably have no other option than to communicate via satellite. With Tiger XS, telephone calls and fax transfers can be relayed and protected via satellite systems.

Secure IP telephony for the EU Nordic Battlegroup

Since the 1980s, Sectra has developed secure communications products for Swedish military and government clients. For the EU Nordic Battlegroup, Sectra has developed a communications solution in which the Tiger XS can be used for IP-based communications over satellite links. Tiger users within the Nordic Battlegroup can opt to make secure calls over satellite or over national landline and GSM networks.

Reliable key management

Sectra’s security management center (SMC) provides a user-friendly, efficient and secure way of generating and distributing keys. The SMC also provides client management, centralized phone book management and revocation of Tiger XS units.

Cost-effective secure communications systems

Sectra’s flexible Tiger XS system is used across the existing communications infrastructure. This allows for rapid and cost-effective deployment. As part of our commitment to complete life-cycle management, Sectra provides in-house service, support and training facilities.

Tiger security subscriptions

The Tiger service is an "all-inclusive" security subscription including Tiger XS products, operation and security administration, as well as customized support and training. The Dutch Ministry of the Interior subscribes on the Tiger service to protect state secrets communicated between ministers, undersecretaries of state and high-ranking officials.

Security pouches for mobile phones, PDAs and laptops

The Sectra radio blocker security pouch has been developed by Sectra in conjunction with the UK national information assurance authority CESG. Through CESG's assisted products scheme (CAPS), the security pouch has been designed to allow mobile phones, laptops and PDAs to be carried in restricted areas where radio transmitters are not allowed.
