波音公司計劃推出安全智能手機

Boeing Co. has filed plans with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for a secure smartphone designed for defense and security applications.

波音公司(Boeing Co. ,BA)日前向美國聯邦通訊委員會(Federal Communications Commission, 簡稱FCC)提交申請，計劃推出一款針對防務及安全應用的安全智能手機。

The phone, dubbed Boeing Black, is based on Google Inc.'s Android operating system and represents a new foray for the aerospace and defense company into adjacent businesses beyond its traditional slate of airborne products.

這款名叫Boeing Black、搭載谷歌公司(Google Inc.)安卓(Android)操作系統的手機，再次凸顯了宇航及防務企業打破傳統航空產品框架，向相鄰業務拓展的努力。

Without publicly announcing the planned product, Boeing has posted a description of the device on its website, showing that it features a modular design that can attach sensors to its 5.2-inch tall body for functions such as advanced location tracking, solar charging, satellite transceivers and biometric sensors.

波音沒有公開發布產品聲明，而在其網站上貼出了產品描述。根據其描述，該手機遵循模塊化設計理念，其5.2寸機身可裝載感應器，以實現精密定位追蹤、太陽能充電、衛星導航以及生物傳感等性能。

Boeing filed the documents with the FCC on Feb. 24. A Boeing spokeswoman said in a statement the phone is 'designed to meet the evolving security needs of defense and security customers.'

波音公司於2月24日向FCC提交了申請。公司發言人在一份聲明中稱這款手機“意在迎合防務及安全領域的客戶不斷變化的安全需求”。

The spokeswoman said Boeing spent more than 36 months researching and developing Black and what it calls the 'PureSecure' architecture. The technology was developed out of a series of acquisitions by Boeing of companies such as Argon ST Inc., Digital Receiver Technology Inc., Kestrel Enterprises Inc., RavenWing Inc. and Solutions Made Simple Inc.

該發言人稱，波音公司歷時超過36個月對Boeing Black手機進行研發，並開發出了被其稱作"PureSecure"的手機架構。其技術研發自波音公司收購了的一系列子公司，包括Argon ST Inc.、Digital Receiver Technology Inc.、Kestrel Enterprises Inc.、RavenWing Inc以及Solutions Made Simple Inc.。
