"We are planning to provide secure mobile phones to all security personnel deployed along the borders and Naxal- affected areas so that they can keep in touch with their family via 3G connection.
"The mobile phone would not be intercepted as we would be having the telephone exchange with us that can be carried by the concerned battalion wherever it goes," he said addressing a security meet organised by the ASSOCHAM.
Chaudhary said he had also met another delegation of another US-based company which was ready to provide blood-testing equipment that could process blood samples in just a few minutes thereby saving invaluable time of security personnel.
The Union Minister of State for Home said the central government was working towards transforming law for cyber crime prevention in accordance with technological advancement.
"We are fully prepared to thwart all types of security challenges, be it cyber crime for which we have constituted a high-level committee of IT (informational technology) experts headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh," he said adding government has also set up a committee to combat the hackers.
The Minister said India has been importing "third-grade" AK-47 rifles and hence there was an urgent need to manufacture security equipment indigenously be it the firearms, night-vision cameras and others.
