Sectra recently launched Sectra Tiger 7401, a new mobile phone for secure telephony, which is as simple and easy to use as a commercial mobile phone. The new mobile phone, with same flexibility as Sectra’s Tiger XS voice enqryptor and support for such features as satellite communication, will be showcased for the first time at Infosecurity.nl, the IT security trade show held Nov. 3 and 4, in the Netherlands.

Sectra’s technology-driven products have gained immense appreciation in 17 European countries. Recently, the EU also put its faith in Sectra to provide all 27 heads of state with secure telephony using the Tiger system.

“Our new eavesdrop-secure mobile phone features the same high degree of safety and flexibility as our Tiger XS voice enqryptor, which is today’s de facto standard for secure telephony in the EU,” said Michael Bertilsson, president of Sectra Communications in a press release. “The encryption systems in both products are compatible with each other, enabling our customers to deploy both solutions in the same organization and base their selection of product on the needs of the user.”

Sectra Tiger 7401 works well in the country, the EU and NATO. Sectra Tiger is intended for secure communication at a national level and within the EU and NATO. The mobile phone is being evaluated by Swedish and Dutch authorities for approval up to the highest classification level, SECRET, meaning information that could cause grave damage if disclosed.

Sectra deliberately ensured close customer collaboration in order to ensure that company’s products live up to the market’s requirements and demands. The new generation Sectra Tiger was developed in cooperation with the Dutch and Swedish defense forces.

“Despite the extremely high technical level, Sectra Tiger is cunningly easy to use, which means that it fulfills our requirements for improvement and simplification for a certain type of user. This form of intimate supplier collaboration is important for us,” said a spokesperson for the Dutch security authority in a statement.
