Tutus Data is launching two new models of its secure mobile solution Färist Mobile. The new generation comprises the T160 for office environments and the T220 for operational use in the field, both featuring strong, quantum-safe encryption for calls, messages and applications.
Färist Mobile has been used for more than a decade by organisations with high security requirements in Sweden and Europe. The solution has been reviewed and approved in several European countries for handling security-classified information, including EU Restricted and NATO Restricted. The phone is also available in a version approved for the Swedish security classification level "begränsat hemlig" (BH, restricted secret).
The new generation consists of two models designed for different purposes. The T160 has been developed as a business phone for administrative and office-based operations, while the T220 is designed for use in the field and other operational environments. The latter is MIL-standard certified, IP68 rated, and can be equipped with accessories such as a tactical case, power bank and a pocket for body-worn mounting.
"Trust in secure communication is fundamental for all organisations handling sensitive information requiring protection. That is why we are proud to launch the next generation of Färist Mobile. A new generation of mobile solution that gives customers greater flexibility and the opportunity to use it in more applications than before," says Jens Bohlin, CEO of Tutus Data.
A key element of the new generation is the ability to support additional hardware platforms in the future, including tablets. At the same time, the same fundamental security architecture is retained, with end-to-end encryption for calls, messages and applications.
"Our ambition has been to combine high security with greater flexibility for the user. By offering different hardware platforms, we can meet the needs of both administrative operations and organisations operating in more demanding environments," Jens Bohlin continues.
Both models connect to an accreditable system where traffic passes through a VPN tunnel for protected communication, even over insecure networks. The organisation itself owns and manages the system and administers its devices through the in-house developed MDM (Mobile Device Management) system Tutus Vakt, which enables, among other things, remote wiping, configuration and policy management.
Tutus also describes digital sovereignty as a central part of the solution. According to the company, this means that customers retain control over data, devices and security policies within their own organisation. At the same time, development and operations are handled by security-cleared personnel, with data hosted in protected Swedish facilities.
"Demand for secure mobile communication continues to grow in both the public sector and defence-related operations. We are seeing a growing need for solutions where organisations retain control over their own systems while users gain access to modern mobile functionality," concludes Jens Bohlin.
