ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - 07/28/10) - Infrax Systems, Inc. (OTC.BB:IFXY - News), a global provider of unified Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility industries, today announced the availability of an encrypted, secure communications device based on Google's Android platform for mobile voice and data applications. This secure phone is currently available on the HTC Desire phones and adds to the portfolio of security related products for Smart Grid applications previously announced by Infrax.
In the modern business environment people regularly discuss and transmit sensitive and confidential information on cell phones. This poses great threats to business secrecy, executive safety, financial transaction confidentiality or even homeland security. Interception technology is cheap and widely accessible and can be easily purchased over the Internet. Those individuals intent on industrial and corporate espionage possess the tools needed to attack the confidentiality of mobile voice and data communication.
The Android based secure phone will provide users with the ability to securely manage voice calls and data. The secure phone uses a peer-to-peer connection for communicating between devices, thereby eliminating a central network hub for potential eavesdroppers to aim a single point of attack. The device provides secure VoIP mobile communications, provided both corresponding parties use our encryption enabled devices. Calls are handled via the Internet using Wi-Fi, HSDPA (3.5G), UMTS (3G) or EDGE (2.5G) networks. The advantages of VoIP communication over GSM are the superior voice quality and cost efficient calls due to the carrier billing data traffic instead of voice traffic.
Currently, the secure phone is available in three configurations; Government, Industrial and Business. Applications designed for Utilities will be available in the near future. Additionally, Infrax can provide customized applications to support remote monitoring of industrial and business processes.
