I'm curious about this encrypted VoIP network. I've never heard of an off-the-shelf product like that, so was it custom-written? What was the interface like?

The source NYT article has some more details, but not enough to answer these questions:

  One of Mr. Guzmán’s Colombian suppliers, Jorge Cifuentes, 
  who introduced the kingpin to the I.T. expert, testified 
  last month that Mr. Rodriguez had promised to arrange 
  secure communications for what amounted to the entire 
  cartel’s leadership. His system operated on VoiP, or voice 
  over internet protocol, Mr. Marston said on Tuesday, and 
  was accessible only to those within the network. According 
  to Mr. Cifuentes, Mr. Guzmán was able to sign in through 
  Wi-Fi even from his hide-outs in the Sierra Madre 
  mountains.
