Sectra receives major order as Sweden strengthens its security

FMV, the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration, has ordered more
products for encrypted telephony from Sectra. The products will be used
by the Swedish Defense Forces and the Swedish Civil Contingencies
Agency, where work to increase security and protect sensitive
information against new threats will continue. The order value totals
SEK 36 million (€ 4 million).

The order comprises Tiger XS and Tiger XS Office, which are products for
secure mobile telephony, fixed telephony and secure data communication.
The new products will modernize existing equipment and more users will
gain access to secure communication systems. Delivery of the products
will commence during the second quarter of the 2011 calendar year. The
order also comprises service and support agreements for the equipment.

“We continue our successful cooperation with the Defense Material
Administration to ensure that authorities and defense in Sweden have
access to modern products for secure communication in the long term. In
order to reduce an organization's risks of information leakage it
requires concentrated and long term investments in future-proof
equipment for encrypted telephony,” says Michael Bertilsson, President
of Sectra Communications.

Today, the possibilities to eavesdrop on communication and mobile
communication, in particular, are major. However, awareness of the risk
of sensitive information leaking is still low and many organizations
need to review and protect their operations using secure communication
systems. Sweden and the Netherlands are among the leading nations in the
world in encryption. Successful cooperation between Sectra and both
Swedish and Dutch customers was the basis for Sectra's secure telephony
products currently being used by authorities and defense customers in 17
European countries.

Sectra Tiger for encrypted telephony
Tiger XS is a personal voice encryptor that protects telephone calls
from eavesdropping over telecom, GSM, 3G, ISDN and IP networks and via
satellite systems. Tiger is certified by Swedish safety authorities, EU,
NATO and several other national safety authorities, which makes it the
safest product in the market for encrypted telephony. During the autumn,
Sectra Tiger XS was chosen by the Council of the European Union as the
product to be used for secure telephony in the EU.
