The only FIPS 140-3 Validated, LTE Out of Band Management solution

For over 20 years, Communication Devices, Inc. (CDI) has served the unique needs of the U.S. Federal Government with secure, reliable, and compliant Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) solutions. As a privately held company with more than 50 years of continuous operation, CDI brings stability, deep domain expertise, and a commitment to mission-critical support that federal agencies rely on.

CDI’s solutions are FIPS 140-3 Validated, meeting the highest standards for cryptographic security as defined by NIST. This validation ensures that sensitive data—both at rest and in transit—is protected in accordance with federal cybersecurity mandates, including CISA’s Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 23-02. For federal agencies, this means confidence that network management interfaces are secured against evolving threats.

Unlike competitors, CDI proudly designs, manufactures, and supports its products entirely in the United States. Every appliance is built in a U.S. facility, and all customer support is provided by U.S.-based personnel who understand the complexity of federal IT environments. There is no outsourcing, no offshore firmware, and no compromise on trust or accountability.

CDI appliances include remote power control and serial console access on every device, enabling true lights-out management of remote locations without the need to dispatch personnel—eliminating truck rolls and reducing operational costs. With integrated CAC card authentication, agencies can enforce existing identity and access controls, ensuring compliance with federal security policies.

Our long-standing presence in the federal market is supported by strong relationships across civilian, DoD, and intelligence agencies. From data centers to edge deployments, CDI delivers secure, FIPS-validated infrastructure that just works—when and where it matters most.

When security, sovereignty, and support are non-negotiable, Federal IT leaders choose CDI. Learn more at commdevices.com.
