How secure is Velocity?
The wireless system Velocity uses is completely different than 802.11 or Wi-fi technology. Velocity uses a system developed by Motorola. This Motorola system has 3 features that make it very secure. 1. Proprietary. The Motorola system uses completely proprietary technology for the Radio Frequency signals as well as the data protocols. So a potential hacker would first have to reverse engineer the Motorola radio equipment. 2. Authentication. No Motorola radio can communicate with our towers without first having its Electronic Serial Number authenticated against our list of allowed radios. 3. Encryption. The Motorola Canopy encrypts user data over the air using 56-bit DES encryption.
