SafeNet to Showcase Industry-Proven Femtocell Security Solutions at the Femtocell 2008 USA Conference

BALTIMORE --(Business Wire)--

SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in information security, today announced it will be showcasing a complete portfolio of industry-proven embedded security solutions for femtocell-enabled networking at the Femtocell 2008 USA Conference in Dallas, Texas December 1-3. SafeNet's worldwide systems engineer, Rasa Siegberg, will be presenting on "Overcoming IPsec Challenges in Femtocell Systems," on December 3rd at 11:20 a.m.

Mobile operators utilize femtocells to provide higher bandwidth and quality of coverage for more than 2.3 billion cellular telephone subscribers. These low power, close range femtocell access points (FAPs) and femto gateways (FGWs) leverage ubiquitous broadband IP communications for the backhaul of cellular voice data. SafeNet recognizes the need for communications between client devices and the carrier's core network to be secure, and that the mutual authentication of the peers and privacy of the data exchanged must be ensured.

SafeNet's leading, industry-proven SafeXcel IP Packet Engines and QuickSec/IPsec for Femtocell toolkit have been optimized for fast, easy, and affordable integration of security features into home base stations, such as femtocells, and telecom networking equipment, such as femto gateways (FGWs).
