WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Federal agencies that need secure voice and data communications on a
wireless network now have a powerful new weapon in their arsenal: the
AME 2000 Secure Mobile Solution from Motorola
Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical
communications solutions and services for enterprise and government
customers. It is based on Motorola’s Assured Mobile Environment (AME)
solution, which combines a commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) device with
hardware and software to provide end-to-end encrypted voice and data
communications through private or public wireless networks to support
the missions of federal agencies. The AME 2000 features a smartphone
with an Android™-based operating system.

KEY FACTS
Using a COTS smartphone with an Android-based operating system, the
AME 2000 provides a familiar, user-friendly experience.
End-to-end AES 256/NSA Suite B encrypted voice services and messaging
are capable between AME-equipped devices.
A Suite B IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure
data-in-transit between a mobile device and a customer enterprise
through private and public broadband networks, including GSM, 3G, 4G
LTE and Wi-Fi.
The AME 2000 supports the use of customer-installed applications, such
as graphic information system mapping and video and remote medical
monitoring. It also includes a browser and applications for email,
text messaging and contacts.
The AME 2000 implements government-sponsored security recommendations
from Security Enhanced Android (SEAndroid) to provide enhanced
security policy controls through assured pipelines so processes cannot
be bypassed or hijacked by flawed or malicious applications.
The Motorola
CRYPTR micro, a hardware security module in a microSD™ form factor
that meets FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Suite B standards, provides the AME
2000 with tamper protection for keys, tokens and certificates, and
performs high-assurance cryptographic operations.
Integrated mobile device management allows over-the-air (OTA)
installation and updating of applications as well as device integrity
verification. For additional protection, encryption keys can be erased
remotely on devices that are lost or compromised.
Android-based software powers hundreds of millions of mobile devices
in more than 190 countries around the world. It is the largest
installed base of any mobile operating system.
