TeleCommunication Systems Unveils Secure the Edge™ Portfolio: Secure Location and Secure Mobile Alerts
Integrated Mobile Broadband Network Solutions Ensure Secure, Reliable End-to-End Connections
BARCELONA, SPAIN, Feb 27, 2012 –Mobile World Congress, Hall 8, Booth 8C115 — TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today introduced Secure Location and Secure Mobile Alerts from its Secure the Edge™ portfolio, an integrated suite of mobile security applications and services for authentication, verification, notification and compliance to connect, secure and manage mobile device communication over mobile broadband networks.
The growth of mobile Internet traffic has expanded the variety of connected mobile devices; making device security increasingly critical for operators, and enterprise network operators.
Mobile users expect that broadband from wireless operators will provide the same services as they enjoy on fixed broadband; and broadband security is a growing concern in many situations. As enterprises and government organizations begin adopting bring your own device policies, operators may now offer secure, location-based solutions from TCS to verify and protect entry into their corporate networks.
As more employees are allowed to use personal mobile, as well as corporate-provided devices to access secure data, the crucial “edge” point of security has changed from single device access to multiple device access by a single user. TCS’ global expertise in cyber security, secure communications, wireless networks and location-based services (LBS) imparts a uniquely comprehensive insight into the changes required by IT professionals to enhance the security of their networks.
TCS Secure the Edge™ Portfolio:
•Secure Location utilizes the TCS LBS platform application to provide verification and tracking of device location in security applications — including fraud, lawful intercept and machine-to-machine deployments for increased security beyond typical credential authorization prior to any communication transmissions.
•Secure Mobile Alerts expand the scope of TCS’ existing messaging solutions portfolio to facilitate timely and secure delivery of critical information before, during and after an emergency. It enables mass notification of geo-targeted information to mobile users in national, regional, campus or local environments. TCS emergency alerting technology is currently being utilized by wireless operators in the Americas.
