Overview Advantages Customers Solutions Services Support

Every link in your communications has to be strong, safe and secure. Period. Verizon Wireless is here to help you make sure your wireless connectivity is as resilient as the rest of your network.

We start with Code Division Multiple Access (or CDMA) technology that scrambles voice and data information, encrypts signaling messages, and authenticates devices to our network. These critical steps dramatically reduce the ability of unauthorized users to capture or decipher your wireless communication. And Long Term Evolution (or LTE), our 4G technology coming in 2010, will add even more network security.

Verizon Wireless also supports Wireless Priority Service (or WPS) for your agency’s leadership, which helps critical calls get through when network traffic is at its highest. Read about this important service to learn how you can put WPS to work inside your own agency.

Device security options

For your agency’s users, we offer Wireless Sync and BlackBerry® email solutions that comply with FIPS-140 specifications for protecting sensitive but unclassified information. Our Common Access Card (CAC) Readers enable controlled access to BlackBerry devices using Bluetooth technology and advanced AES-256 encryption. These readers use Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (or S/MIME) to give your team two-factor authentication for wirelessly signing and encrypting email messages between senders and recipients.

On secure wireless devices*, we offer an Asynchronous Secure Phone feature (or ASP) that lets you blanket sensitive voice communications from your device to other Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) compliant devices with end-to-end Type 1 security. We also offer SCIP compliant classified and unclassified communications services for data, messaging and email exchange.
