Smartphone users today operate at multiple security levels and deal with multiple threats and situations at once, so why not carry one device that can handle all those situations?

New technology from PCTEL Secure can keep data on the mobile and data over the air safe from eavesdroppers and attackers, and keep sensitive information isolated and protected wherever you and your smartphone may go - be it behind a desk on Wall Street or protecting freedom behind enemy lines.

PCTEL Secure uses unique, innovative separation technology to allow users access to a complete smartphone environment with business logic, medical, or translation apps, while still keeping all data and communications secure - all on a single, commercially available device running PCTEL Secure’s easy to install firmware.

This powerful separation technology utilized to run these secure apps in an isolated environment on Android devices, will enable a seamless experience for the user. Administrators can set security policies, and users can take advantage of thousands of Android apps, and carry one device for both trusted and untrusted network access.

Because PCTEL Secure will utilize COTS hardware, emergency forces or defense contractors will be able to acquire smartphones from local sources and quickly upgrade them using PCTEL Secure’s robust, secure Web-based infrastructure, by simply inserting specialized SD cards directly into the phone, or through a customized process.

PCTEL Secure intends to offer devices based on popular commercial smartphone platforms as well as field-tested ruggedized smartphone platforms suitable for industrial, law enforcement, and military uses in more demanding environmental conditions.
