Focused on delivering secure videoconferencing solutions for government and military organizations.
Ultra Electronics Criticom is focused exclusively on delivering secure, certified, and automated end-to-end videoconferencing solutions for government and military organizations in support of their mission-critical communication needs. Criticom solutions include design, networking, integration, Information Assurance (IA), management and professional services and support. Since 1990, Criticom’s commitment to exceeding expectations has led to long-term relationships with customers in every branch of the military, as well as with homeland security, intelligence, and select civilian agencies. Combining a life cycle approach to video communications with expert program management skills, Criticom’s professionals help our customers simplify deployment and use, minimize risk and total cost of ownership, and maximize benefits and return on investment.
ISEC, Criticom’s flagship product line, provides automated, fail-safe video communications security solutions that meet an organization’s classified and unclassified conferencing needs through the simple flip of a switch. The only TEMPEST-tested secure/non-secure switch currently available, ISEC solutions permit users to change security levels or networks in literally minutes, eliminating complicated manual processes and the need for dedicated IT support. Available as a stand-alone switch that can be integrated with any video system, or as part of a comprehensive suite of videoconferencing solutions, the ISEC line also includes its own dial isolation capability – enabling customers for the first time to execute on-screen dialing in both secure and non-secure settings. To ensure flexibility and ease of use, ISEC products support standard industry interfaces for codecs, encryption devices, power and device management, providing further value for an organization’s videoconferencing investments. ISEC solutions are the only automated solutions that work concurrently across both ISDN and IP networks.
Criticom is also a full-service value-added reseller that has established partnerships with best of class technology providers like Tandberg, Polycom, Radvision and Cisco. As one of the largest resellers of Tandberg conferencing tools, Criticom is a Tandberg Platinum Partner. These partnerships, coupled with Criticom’s domain expertise, ensure Criticom consistently delivers the H.320, H.323, SIP & RTP solutions to best meet their government customers’ needs.
In 2007, Criticom was acquired by Ultra Electronics, a group of specialist businesses designing, manufacturing and supporting electronic and electromechanical systems, subsystems and products for international defense and aerospace markets. This new depth of experience and broad understanding of military requirements, coupled with Criticom’s unique expertise and innovative approach, enables Criticom to consistently deliver superior solutions for our government customers.
