New report

# Air-gapped secure communications.

Air-gapped doesn't have to mean outdated, isolated or hard to use. This report shows what modern classified communications looks like - built for how national security and defence actually operates.

- **Stop shadow IT -** modern voice, video and messaging on mobile devices, so there's no reason to reach for Signal or WhatsApp
- **Cross classification boundaries securely** - Cross Domain Gateways connect high-side and low-side networks
- **Sovereign and vendor-independent -** built on the open Matrix standard with no external dependencies and no vendor lock-in
- **Operational oversight at scale** - GridView multi-room monitoring for mission-critical control rooms and cyber operations
- **Resilient in any condition** - optimised for DDIL environments, satellite, mesh and low-bandwidth networks
