The National Security Agency (NSA) has awarded a $2.8 million contract to add a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) feature to Sectera vIPer Universal Secure Phone. The feature allows users to use the vIPer Phone to connect to the traditional telephone network using a secure network.

“The idea behind PSTN Connect is to provide users with a flexibility they don’t have today. For example, the vIPer Universal Secure Phone will appeal to those whose installations currently use the PSTN network, but who plan to migrate to voice over IP; users who currently have voice over IP networks; and others who plan to stay with traditional PSTN,” said John Cole, vice president of Information Assurance for General Dynamics C4 Systems. “It’s about protecting our customers’ investments by providing a product that will accommodate evolving communications technologies.”

The Sectéra vIPer Phone was released in 2006 and is the only VoIP phone approved by the NSA for top secret information.
