ARMA G1 Mark II Secure Communicator<\/h3>\n

Switzerland-based ARMA Instruments specialises in the security of mission-critical communications. After developing the first generation of the Secure Communicator, Arma again turned to us for the new generation, the Mark II. User target groups are professionals within the military, police, legal and financial affairs, government and NGOs who need to be able to operate securely in any location around the globe. \nIn our highly connected world, cybersecurity is challenged every minute. ARMA Instruments uses \u2018Dynamic identity\u2019 to hide user data and metadata. The attack surface of the communication device is reduced. The device operates as stand-alone, building on a zero trust approach. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Design language, materials and reliabilit<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith its design language and selection of materials, the Mark II\u2019s design emphasises the device\u2019s reliability, the high-tech technological application and its certainty of performing in all potential and critical situations. The layout of the components and the construction of the physical casing elements were decided in an integral way in consultation with the electronics development partner. The focus was thereby on cybersecurity and tamper protection, the antenna radio signal and robustness in use such as shock, vibration and drop protection.\nThe final design concept was selected based on realistic renderings, volume models and material samples. High-quality shock-resistant materials, precise manufacturing processes and the use of gorilla glass ensure that the communicator works in a wide variety of conditions and locations.
Close collaboration between the developers of hardware, electronics and software is crucial for this type of security-critical product. Here too, our holistic design approach and production engineering expertise contributed to the final solution. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

User Interface Design<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA lot of attention is paid to the functionality and operation of the Secure Communicator in stressful situations. The interaction must be as simple and intuitive as possible. The user interface was optimised by dynamically prototyping the control structures and testing graphic elements (layout and icons) with users.\nARMA greatly appreciates the fact that our designers also have in-house expertise in user interface design. That means that as a client, you don\u2019t have to keep providing information to new partners. That saves time and energy. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
