ARMA Instruments AG, an acronym for Advanced Relay Mission Applications, was founded in 2018 in Baar, Switzerland. Our mission is to protect our clients’ communications and privacy through the continued development and improvement of avant-garde secure communications technology. Our development and manufacturing process is based on the Zero Trust principle, meaning exactly what it says - nothing can be trusted. Therefor ARMA Instruments manufactures and designs its own technology. We stand for political neutrality and full transparency, which we provide throughout the whole organization, from road to code. No compromises for your confidential communications - ARMA designed the total opposite of a smartphone, the ARMA G1. 

By design, the ARMA G1 facilitates message communications only. We designed a closed system for person to person and group messaging that led to a very small attack surface and superior security. ARMA G1 operates globally on above TOP SECRET level security, using the public cellular network. ARMA developed the entire system from the ground up, from the message application and the ARMA Linux operating system to the entire electronics board. Our neutrality and transparency can be continuously monitored through our Control System for Transparency. ARMA Instruments established the ARRI research consortium that currently includes several major research institutes and universities and the initiative is expanding internationally. ARRI contributes to ARMA’s long term commitment to remain the state of the art for secure communications technology. ARRI validates ARMA’s technology and shows transparency as we provide our academic partners with total insight in both organisation and technology.
