It also allows secure phone conversations and access to the internet...

 

Mike Fumai, CEO of Blue Ridge Networks commented in a statement,  “Being able to claim that we secure the world's largest secure VoIP over satellite network is rewarding, but what I take pride in is the concerted team effort that created a solution so valuable to Iraq secure voice and data communications."
