TangoSMS - Secure Mobile Solutions - is a system for encrypting communication between cell phones and mobile services. TangoSMS is developed by NISIS Communication, a department of NISIS focusing on communication, encryption and signal processing.

With this system, users in an organization may communicate securely with each other using their cell phones, and the transmitted information can not be read by a third party even though the communications are monitored.

Today, anyone can send false SMS messages and appear to be someone else. Third parties can monitor and read messages, messages may not arrive and man-in-the-middleattacks may be performed to manipulate the information sent back and forth. TangoSMS prevents all of these, ensuring secure communication and maintaining demands for confidentiality and integrity. The unique technology developed by NISIS Communications ensures that only sender and recipient may see the content of a message. No one may eavesdrop, no matter which part of the chain of communication is attacked.

TangoSMS has a modular design, and users may choose functionality dependant of the organization’s needs. For example, with the press of a panic button on a GPS-enabled system, the cell phone will send a distress call with GPS position to an emergency station or a custom defined number.

All information, like messages and contacts, is encrypted when stored on the cell phones, and thus it may not be accessed in the event of a lost or stolen phone. In addition, TangoSMS has built-in functionality allowing the deletion of content on the phone remotely.

NISIS Communications has also developed a very user friendly administration module, allowing creation and deletion of users, cell phones and profiles in an easy way. The system is available with expanded functionality, enabling the administration server to send encrypted information to multiple recipients at the same time. It is also possible to allow cross-group communication.

With TangoSMS, expensive investments and costly training is avoided. TangoSMS works on most modern cell phones and is self-explanatory and intuitive to use. It can be utilized immediately after the administrator or the other part has cleared the cell phone and its user for secure communication.

TangoSMS ensures secure communication within the organization, so that sensitive information does not fall in the wrong hands and decisions may not be manipulated electronically by a third part.
