Reinventing the analog phone

Philip Wong | Jun 21, 2007

This may be an odd proposition but Hong Kong-based Everpeace Technology is advocating a secure telephony system based on the age-old analog technology. Leveraging on its proprietary Frequency Domain Scrambling technique, the company claims a higher degree of anti-tapping deterrence against comparable digital equivalents. The latter are designed using well-documented industrial encryption which may be vulnerable due to their widespread implementation.

This, when coupled with its one-touch call scrambling and 100 million cryptographic codes, is indeed promising in our opinion, though it's hard not to fault the bulky and unassuming design. Other notable features include built-in speakerphone, caller ID and even a calculator function. You will need a pair of these to make a secured call and each set goes for US$240. It's now available in Asia but has to be ordered directly from the company.
