Blackberry, Samsung, and IBM, three of the world’s tech giants, have joined hands to release the SecuTABLET, an ultra-secure tablet primarily aimed at governments and authorities. The tablet was announced yesterday at CeBIT 2015.
At the core, the SecuTABLET is actually an ultra-secure Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, but with added encryption software features designed by Secusmart, a company owned by BlackBerry. Although the SecuTABLET can be used for ultra-secure communications, the tablet can also run unsecured apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and WhatsApp.
According to the official press release, the SecuTABLET offers high-end communications security by integrating SecuSUITE technology. SecuSUITE is the product of a recently-announced partnership between BlackBerry subsidiary Secusmart and Samsung Knox. A couple of months ago, rumors claimed that Samsung is interested in buying BlackBerry, but after quickly dismissing this info as false, the two companies jointly announced that they’ve extended their partnership involving mobile security solutions. The SecuTABLET also integrates IBM technology responsible for the secure app wrapping technology.
Worlds Most Expensive TABLET
Since the SecuTABLET is based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, the hardware specs should include a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels at 288 PPI, a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 chipset (1.9 Ghz quad-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU paired with an ARM 1.3GHz Cortex A7 CPU in the big.LITTLE configuration, ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU), 3 GB RAM, and a non-removable Li-Ion 7900 mAh battery.
Priced at € 2,300, the tablet isn’t aimed at the consumer market, and as a consequence, chances are that we’re not going to see it commercialized through the usual retail channels.
