Apriva, LLC announced that its Apriva ISS division has been awarded a contract modification by the United States Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to enhance its Multi Carrier Entry Point (MCEP) Gateway. This gateway enhancement will enable the Department of Defense (DoD) to deliver classified voice and data communications to commercially available smartphones. The upgraded gateways are part of the DoD's mobility gateway plan and will take on a central role in providing worldwide secure communications for wireless devices in the DoD's Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Mobility Gateway initiative. DISA, a Combat Support Agency, provides, operates and assures joint command and control, information sharing capabilities and a globally accessible enterprise information infrastructure in direct support of joint war fighters, national-level leaders, and other mission and coalition partners across the full spectrum of operations. To foster cost savings and faster deployment of commercial technology for voice communications, DISA has adopted the National Security Agency's (NSA) initiative for Mobility Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC). This program focuses on using commercial off-the-shelf technology, such as Android devices, coupled with best-of-breed encryption and mobile security software, to enable a secure voice solution that can keep up with technology and still be affordable. The CSfC Mobility Gateway will provide DISA full command and control, and the required mechanisms to ensure that secure gateway communications are available for war fighters and national leadership. Additionally, as part of its agreement with DISA, Apriva will provide professional services support for the DoD CSfC Mobility Gateway for approved CSfC devices.
