Mobile Solution from Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider
of mission-critical communications solutions and services for enterprise and
government customers. It is based on Motorola’s Assured Mobile Environment

hardware and software to provide end-to-end encrypted voice and data
communications through private or public wireless networks to support the
missions of federal agencies. The AME 2000 features a smartphone with an

KEY FACTS
* Using a COTS smartphone with an Android-based operating system, the AME
2000 provides a familiar, user-friendly experience.
* End-to-end AES 256/NSA Suite B encrypted voice services and messaging are
capable between AME-equipped devices.
* A Suite B IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure
data-in-transit between a mobile device and a customer enterprise through
private and public broadband networks, including GSM, 3G, 4G LTE and
Wi-Fi.
* The AME 2000 supports the use of customer-installed applications, such as
graphic information system mapping and video and remote medical
monitoring. It also includes a browser and applications for email, text
messaging and contacts.
* The AME 2000 implements government-sponsored security recommendations from
Security Enhanced Android (SEAndroid) to provide enhanced security policy
controls through assured pipelines so processes cannot be bypassed or
hijacked by flawed or malicious applications.
* The Motorola CRYPTR micro, a hardware security module in a microSD™ form
factor that meets FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Suite B standards, provides the
AME 2000 with tamper protection for keys, tokens and certificates, and
performs high-assurance cryptographic operations.
* Integrated mobile device management allows over-the-air (OTA) installation
and updating of applications as well as device integrity verification. For
additional protection, encryption keys can be erased remotely on devices
that are lost or compromised.
* Android-based software powers hundreds of millions of mobile devices in
more than 190 countries around the world. It is the largest installed base
of any mobile operating system.
