Sweden protects telephone calls from eavesdropping during EU Presidency 

During Sweden's EU Presidency, Swedish government authorities and the defense
forces will use Sectra's Tiger XS personal voice encryptor for eavesdrop-secure
communications. Sweden is the fifth country in Europe to use Tiger XS to protect
telephone conversations from eavesdropping during its EU Presidency.

During Sweden's EU Presidency, which commenced on July 1, 2009, decision-makers
have access to Tiger XS, which is the most secure and user-friendly product in
the market for encrypted telephony. Tiger XS was developed by Sectra in
cooperation with Swedish government authorities and is a unique personal voice
encryptor used by decision-makers, senior officials and military personnel in
more than half of all EU member states.

“Sectra's project to protect voice communication among Europe's decision-makers
from eavesdropping has now resulted in the use of our voice encryptor by every
other EU country and an increase in the number of countries choosing Tiger XS
during their EU Presidency,” says Michael Bertilsson, President of Sectra
Communications.

Sweden will take over the EU Presidency after the Czech Republic, which has also
used Tiger XS to protect the exchange of sensitive and classified information. 

Every other EU country uses Tiger
Tiger XS is a personal voice encryptor that protects telephone calls from
eavesdropping over telephone lines, GSM, ISDN and IP networks as well as via
satellite systems. Tiger XS is also used to encrypt SMS, fax and data transfers.
Tiger has been certified by the EU, NATO and several national security agencies
up to the high security level SECRET.
