TS2 will provide satellite telecommunications services for the Government Protection Bureau
15 May 2011
The Government Protection Bureau (GPB) announced its selection of the best bid in the proceedings for awarding a public contract for telecommunications services within the satellite communications system. The tender was won by TS2 Satellite Technologies from Warsaw - they will provide global connections for Iridium 9505a and Sailor SC4000 satellite phones, which are used by GPB officials.
The Government Protection Bureau is Poland's equivalent of the United States Secret Service, providing antiterrorism and VIP security services for the Polish government.
Satellite phone services will be used in conditions where traditional communication is difficult or impossible, for example due to a lack of adequate infrastructure on the ground. This is particularly important during GPB officials' foreign missions. They can now use encrypted communications and data transmission systems, which operate independently of local telecommunications infrastructure. Furthermore, satellite communications systems increase the level of security, which is particularly significant in areas of military action and wherever an immediate response is vital.
The Iridium satellite network is one of the most reliable telecommunications systems, accessible from virtually anywhere in the world. Currently the Iridium constellation consists of sixty-six active satellites and a few spare units. This network's satellites orbit at an altitude of around 780km and an inclination of 86.4 degrees. These orbital parameters, combined with a high number of coordinated satellites allow constant access to telecommunications services from anywhere on Earth.
TS2 Satellite Technologies provides global telecommunications services within international satellite networks. The company offers all possibilities of using communications satellites to send data, make phone calls and access the Internet. TS2 allows you to make a phone call from anywhere in the world, together with the appropriate data encryption.
