Boeing has announced that it is working on an ultra secure smartphone for the military and defense sectors, and the device is being built with Google’s Android mobile platform and the first devices are expected to be available by the end of the year.
Normally ultra secure smartphones command a hefty price tag with encrypted device retailing between $15,000 and $20,000 per handset, and Boeing is looking to reduce the cost of these secure smartphones significantly.
Whilst Boeing haven’t actually announced how much they intend to sell these secure Android smartphones for, they are expected to retail for quite a bit less than the current prices.
