EU selects Sectra as supplier of secure telephony

Sectra's encryption system Tiger XS, approved for communications up to
EU Secret, has been selected for secure telephony within the EU. The
recently signed framework contract between Sectra and the Council of the
European Union in Brussels is valid for a total period of four years. An
initial order has been placed scheduled for delivery during the autumn
of 2010.

“The framework contract with the Council of the European Union realizes
our goal of providing easy-to-use products for secure telephony to
customers in all EU Member States. A common solution for secure voice
will help to reinforce security in Europe” says Michael Bertilsson,
President of Sectra Communications AB.

Sectra develops its products in close cooperation with its customers.
The company's home markets are the Netherlands and Sweden, where
government and defense customers have contributed to Tiger's
development.

“Tiger XS is the most secure product in the market for secure telephony.
All Dutch ministries and the Dutch defense forces already use Tiger XS
for the secure communication of sensitive national information and EU
secrets,” says a spokesperson for the Dutch security authority.

additional products for secure telephony through continuous product
development. Tiger XS, which has been ordered by the Council of the
European Union, is used to make secure calls over telephone lines, GSM,
