Delivering Secure VoIP Networks

The migration to IP in military networks is in full swing, yet many systems and services still rely on older TDM- or ATM-based networking. Come learn about the demands for delivering secure voice calls over IP-based networks. In addition, many systems are deployed in low bandwidth satellite networks, posing a greater challenge to manage bandwidth for voice and data applications while delivering high priority encrypted voice traffic.

3:25 - 4:25 pm
Ensuring Secure Voice and Data Communications Between Remote Terminals

Government and enterprise business travelers are communicating commercially sensitive and government classified information over less than secure public networks. Data and voice communications between remote terminals (telephone handsets and laptop PCs via modem or NIC) and headquarters or command-level locations over public networks often results in higher risk of interception. To overcome these risks, travelers often have to settle on not getting access to sensitive or classified information or make up special “lingo” to convey verbal information. Come discuss the tools and strategies available today to deliver on the promise of secure voice and data transfer between remote participants.
