Client Overview
A federal government agency engaged CONVX to implement network and security infrastructure supporting a Motorola Flex public safety application deployment. The implementation required Fortinet firewall and switch infrastructure, site-to-site VPN connectivity to a correctional facility, and remote access VPN for vehicle-based connections, all meeting CJIS compliance requirements.
Business Challenge
Public Safety Application Infrastructure: The agency required dedicated network infrastructure to support the Motorola Flex public safety application, including secure connectivity between facilities and mobile units.
CJIS Compliance Requirements: As a public safety network handling criminal justice information, the infrastructure must meet Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy requirements for data protection and access control.
Multi-Site Secure Connectivity: The deployment required site-to-site VPN connectivity to a correctional facility as well as remote access VPN capabilities for vehicle-based mobile connections to the public safety application.
