The Defense Information Systems Agency has announced that its mobile classified communications suite is now operationally ready and available for use throughout DoD.
The DoD Enterprise Classified Travel Kit Gateway – DECTK-GW, a portable, classified voice, video, and data reach-back capability, previously had been available only as a specialized service to select users.
“The DECTK-GW infrastructure and supported kits allow users to make classified voice calls through DISA’s Enterprise Classified Voice over Internet Protocol (ECVoIP) service and access the Secret IP Router Network (SIPRNet) through any Internet connection,” explained DECTK program manager, DISA Army MAJ Joy Thomas.
An individual can use the kit by connecting to the Defense Enterprise Computing Center-hosted DECTK infrastructure through a hard connection to any Ethernet port, the built-in wireless broadband router, or a USB modem air card.
There are two kits (one for voice, another for voice and data) are currently approved to operate with DECTK-GW, and a third (for voice, data and video) is expected to be available later this summer.
DECTK-GW is replacing the Joint Communications Support Element and users will be transferred over.
