Sectra delivers Tigers for IP telephony to Nordic Battlegroup

FMV (Swedish Defense Materiel Administration) has ordered Tiger XS products for secure voice communication from Sectra. For the first time, support for IP-based satellite communication is included in ordered units. The Tiger products are primarily intended for use within the Nordic Battlegroup. The order value amounts to slightly more than SEK 5 Million.

Earlier in 2007, FMV ordered encryption equipment for secure radio communication and Tiger XS products for secure mobile and fixed telephony for Nordic Battlegroup.

“IP-based communication is increasingly sought by our customers and FMV is the first to order Tiger products with support for IP telephony,” says Jan-Olof Brüer, President and CEO of Sectra. “The order demonstrates our strength in quickly understanding our customers’ requirement profile and Sectra continues to equip Nordic Battlegroup with effective encryption solutions.”

Tiger XS products facilitate the exchange of sensitive information regardless whether communicated from a mobile phone, desktop phone, conference phone or computer. These products have been approved by several national security and accreditation bodies in Europe and NATO.

Nordic Battlegroup – cooperation across national boundaries
Sweden has undertaken coordination responsibility for the Nordic Battlegroup, one of the rapid reaction forces established by the EU member states. Beginning on January 1, 2008, and for six months from that date, Sweden will command this rapid reaction force. Nordic Battlegroup consists of a total of approximately 2,500 soldiers to be deployed for crisis management operations within a radius of 6,000 kilometers from Brussels.
