The National Security Agency has certified the Sectra vIPer Universal Secure Phone classified at the Top Secret level. The phone allows U.S. military and government to make both classified and unclassified calls using one phone unit.
“The certification makes the vIPer Phone with PSTN Connect a cost-effective solution as users will no longer have support and maintenance of their legacy Secure Telephone Units or STU-IIIs, ” said John Cole, vice president of Information Assurance for General Dynamics C4 Systems. “PSTN and VoIP network flexibility, combined with the vIPer Phone’s interoperability with the government’s Secure Terminal Equipment (STE), also enables customers to easily transition to the latest technology.”
The phone was introduced in 2006, and remains the only Voice over IP phone certified by NSA at a Top Secret clearance.
