National Security Agency Type-1 Encryption Device Assures Secure

Communications Over Globalstar Mobile Satellite Phones

Globalstar, the world's most popular handheld satellite phone service, and Rainbow Mykotronx, a leading manufacturer of high-grade encryption and decryption equipment, today announced that Type-1 data encryption - the U.S. government's highest level of security for data transmission - is now available over Globalstar phones using Mykotronx encryption equipment.

The Rainbow Mykotronx KIV-7HSB data encryption device, which has a proven record in providing top level data security across a wide range of applications and installations, has been successfully tested and integrated by Rainbow Mykotronx with the Globalstar Qualcomm GSP-1600 satellite phone. The integration offers Globalstar users the same high assurance security protection of the U.S. National Security Agency's (NSA) strongest level of encryption.

The Rainbow Mykotronx KIV-7HSB's compact configuration is ideal for desktop, embedded, or rack installations, yet it also offers a broad variety of features, including removable Crypto Ignition Key protection of internally stored keys, user-friendly menu-based interfaces, and compatibility with both DS-101 and DS-102 electronic keying devices.

The Globalstar Qualcomm GSP-1600 is one of the smallest and most versatile satellite phones available today, allowing users to stay in touch from virtually anywhere with a clear, reliable CDMA-quality signal. It is also available with a growing number of add-on accessories for use in aviation, maritime and other applications in demanding physical environments.
