T-Priority security features.

  • Secure, isolated network slicing.

    Dedicated 5G Standalone (SA) slices isolate DoD traffic from public networks.

     

    Prevents interference, congestion, and cross-traffic vulnerabilities.

  • End-to-end encryption and threat protection.

    Encrypted signaling and wireless traffic safeguard data in transit.

     

    Built-in protections against eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and malware.

  • Mutual authentication and identity concealment.

    5G mutual authentication verifies both device and network.

     

    Subscriber identity concealment protects against surveillance tools like IMSI catchers.

  • Zero Trust architecture and passwordless access.

    Zero Trust security model prevents lateral movement inside networks.

     

    FIDO2 and CLEAR AI verification deliver strong, password-free access control.

  • Secure API and edge protection.

    Hardened APIs defend 5G apps and external integrations from tampering.

     

    SASE architecture secures remote, mobile, and IoT endpoints at scale.

  • Resilient infrastructure and timing.

    Redundant positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems ensure continuous sync.

     

    Full RPKI and GSMA signaling standards protect routing and interconnects.
