VINAPHONE selects KoolSpan to power ProCallTM secure communications solution
Collaboration between Vinaphone and KoolSpan marks extension of secure mobile voice, text and data communications to Vietnam
Hanoi, Vietnam and Bethesda, MD, May 7th, 2019 – Vinaphone (http://vinaphone.com.vn), the leading provider of advanced telecommunications technologies and services to government, enterprise, small & medium-sized business, and consumers in Vietnam announces its partnership with KoolSpan (https://koolspan.com), to power Vinaphone ProCall, (http://procall.vn/en/), the secure mobile communications solution designed to meet the needs of customers in Vietnam.
With an estimated 2018 GDP of more than $700 Billion and a population of almost 100 million people, Vietnam is an important economic and cultural hub that includes fast growing manufacturing, information technology and energy companies.
Telecommunications networks globally are vulnerable to monitoring and surveillance of phone calls and text messages at the hands of cyber criminals, corporate hackers, and nation states. These parties commit corporate espionage, steal intellectual property and sensitive financial information, monitor the calls and messages of targeted individuals, and compromise the privacy and security of people globally.
With ProCall, government employees, business people and consumers across Vietnam are able to protect their mobile phone calls and chats from surveillance targeting government information or seeking unfair business advantages through corporate/business espionage.
ProCall delivers robust, end-to-end encryption for mobile phone calls and chats using technology developed by Bethesda, MD based KoolSpan, Inc.
