NEW VOICE CODEC FOR IMPROVED VOICE QUALITY IN ALL GSMK CRYPTOPHONES:
Effective March 1, 2009, all GSMK CryptoPhone products will feature an additional new voice codec that significantly increases voice quality, especially in situations with bad network coverage or bad network quality. The leading-edge ACELP VLBR4 codec, based on the latest scientific advances in codec research, offers better voice clarity while at the same time requiring only 4kbps of network bandwidth. All GSMK CryptoPhones with the new codec will remain fully compatible with older GSMK CryptoPhones that feature the CELP codec. The end user will automatically profit from better voice quality without any changes to the user interface.
INTRODUCING THE GSMK CRYPTOPHONE G10i PLUS WITH SMS ENCRYPTION AND SECURE STORAGE:
As a major upgrade to the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i, the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i"+" will also make its debut at the Mobile World Congress. The GSMK CryptoPhone G10+ not only features GSMK's signature hardened operating system and encrypted voice, but also encrypted SMS and the encrypted storage subsystem for contacts, messages, and keys that you already know from the CryptoPhone 300. As a result, the CryptoPhone
G10i+ packs all the encryption power of the CryptoPhone 300 in the
smaller, well-known form factor of the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i.
Designed for those customers who prefer a small, easy-to-use secure phone, the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i+ gives these customers the power of protecting their voice and SMS conversations as well as sensitive data on the device itself using GSMK's leading encryption algorithms.
Effective March 1, 2009, the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i+ will supercede the GSMK CryptoPhone G10i, and all pending orders for GSMK CryptoPhone G10i models will be upgraded to GSMK CryptoPhone G10i+ models.
INTRODUCING THE GSMK CRYPTOPHONE PSTN/1i WITH CLEAR/SECURE MODE SWITCHING:
The GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1"i" is an upgrade to the existing GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1 secure fixed-line phone. Featuring the proven GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1 form factor and capabilities, the GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1i also features a key switch on the front of the encryption unit that allows the user to switch from unencrypted clear text calls to encrypted calls with the simple turn of a key. It thus allows encrypted and unencrypted calls to use the same phone line without the need for a dedicated encrypted line. At the same time, organizational policies that only allow encrypted calls in certain locations can be enforced by locking the key switch in the "secure" position and removing the key from the device.
Effective March 1, 2009, the GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1+ will supercede the GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1, and all orders for GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1 models will be upgraded to GSMK CryptoPhone PSTN/1i models.
