Water treatment plants are among the most critical infrastructure needed to sustain human life. As a result, they are also vulnerable to terror threats and intentional contamination. Protecting drinking water sources and water treatment facilities is vital to preventing an incident that may cause drinking water to become non-potable.

Since 9/11, security has been significantly increased at water treatment facilities. Many of the security personnel assuring the safety of our nation's drinking water utilize mobile and portable radios to communicate regarding facility security and potential threats that may cause drinking water to become unsafe.

Transcrypt International is the world's leading provider of voice privacy modules for two-way analog radios. Transcrypt's technology is the encryption standard for more than 10,000 radio systems in over 120 countries worldwide.
