At a meeting with students at the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko showed off his closed-circuit mobile phone.
And made a call to demonstrate how the device works.
The press service of the head of state reported this.
What phone does Lukashenko have?
Commenting on plans to produce a Belarusian mobile phone, the president, at the request of the students, showed his closed-circuit mobile phone and made a call to demonstrate how the device works.
As the head of state explained, the telephone uses a development of the State Security Committee that protects against wiretapping: speech is encrypted, and when an attempt is made to intercept a conversation, gurgling sounds are heard on the air. Speech is decrypted only when a signal is received on another similar device.
Due to these features, the phone is quite massive, but work is underway to make it more compact.
Lukashenko clarified that he does not carry a phone with him, it is with his adjutant. About 70 people can communicate with the head of state via closed communication.
The President noted that some countries have already purchased this development. It was possible to create it thanks to the strong cryptographic school of the State Security Committee, which was preserved in Belarus.
