The SME-PED technology will allow military officers to securely access classified information system from any location. Other features include ‘top secret’ voice, secure email access, web browsing and document viewing.
Based on the commercial multiprotocol gateway infrastructure, the MCEP intelligently routes traffic among multiple domains without ever storing or queuing messages. The secured gateway will also prevent any authorised user’s information being tracked outside its domain.
The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) is the contracting agency for the initial one-year contract, which has a option for an extension of four years.
