Mr Allan: Hotzone units are built to military standards to begin with, so passing a threat mitigation survey by an IA team would pretty much be a given:
Key Features
Modular design Built to military standards Advanced traffic shaping (QoS) Any combination of frequecies (900MHz, 2.4GHz, 2.5GHz, 2.6GHz, 3.5GHz, 4.9GHz, 5GHz) DECT (1880-1930MHz), VoIP LOS, NLOS operation Up to 30 miles LOS Scalable solutions Outstanding RF performance and frequency flexibility
High Speed Wireless Quartet The Trimax 4010 four radio backhaul, repeater, access point & Hotspot Stations feature a combination of four frequency configurable radios and two DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) radios in a single outdoor housing. 4010 Radio Gateways are designed for network operators looking to deploy state of the art systems that provide the highest level of security flexibility and performance, while supporting carrier class QoS requirements needed for VoIP, Video and other latency critical network data. Using its comprehensive set of IP services, the 4010 Radio Series supports Bandwidth Management, Traffic Shaping, IP Routing, VPN and Encryption Services for each individual radio card, in a single unit. Available in a rugged Aluminum outdoor housing, it uses Mil Spec components and advanced processor cooling technologies.
Mr Allan, you left off the final sentence of the summary:
Executive Summary
Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration’s (CWID) Assessments Working Group (AWG), Information Assurance (IA) Team performed a high-level assessment Trial 6.42, HotZone 4010/4020 (HZ4010). This trial implemented mechanisms to provide assurance that the information processed by the vendor’s product was secure. These mechanisms appeared to be appropriate given the level-of-data and operating environment of the trial.
Information Assurance clearly looks for things that Hotzone does not include. It is a commercial product. It could have the military security built in with microcoding but it isn't currently in the product, so why submit to such a test?
