Qnective Rolls out Secure Mobile Communications Solution to Indonesia

The Swiss company Qnective  (http://www.qnective.com) has received a major order for its software solution Qtalk Defense for 120,000 users. This will incorporate the building of a secure communications network for various military and governmental organisations in Indonesia by using the public mobile networks. Members of each of these organisations will be able to exchange encrypted voice and data with one another confidentially and without the risk of third parties eavesdropping. Qtalk Defense is set up on standard smartphones (Android, Blackberry, iOS, Windows). Investing in additional digital networks has been avoided by using the existing public mobile networks.

The geographical situation of Indonesia, a country with more than 17,000 islands, made it essential for the Indonesian government that the secure communications solution is using the existing GSM networks. Like this, little additional customer costs for new hardware or infrastructure were generated. These challenges were mastered by the design and implementation of Qnective's mobile software solution, Qtalk Defense. Qtalk Defense is running on commonly held Android, Blackberry and iOS devices.

For Indonesia, the outline agreement includes the licenses for 120,000 users, training and support as well as the handling of the network operations on site with local partners
