High risk conflict zones in Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the globe require organizations to deploy personnel and third-party resources to support and protect their operations. These include media reporting agencies (the press), non-government organizations that provide humanitarian aid, extraction services, and many others including companies operating in those areas.
As organizations dispatch their resources to these volatile, high-risk environments, they need the capability to communicate securely. This means that their communications must be protected from interception by unauthorized third parties, and in many cases the origin of their communications cannot be identified.
There are several considerations, such as mobility, portability, accessibility, security, privacy and reliability. For example, does the solution of choice work well over Internet communications? Does it work well with satellite communications?
The combination of mobile devices using Internet-enabled apps, such as QTel™ (formerly Qphone), offer the best solution to protect communications.
