Czech decision-makers protect phone calls against eavesdropping during EU
presidency 

Several Czech ministries and governmental offices have procured Sectra's crypto
product Tiger XS. Decision-makers and senior governmental officials are able to
use this product to secure their mutual exchange of sensitive and classified
information since the commencement of the Czech EU presidency.

The Czech EU presidency extends from January through June 2009.

“Our effort in the European government market continues and the Czech Republic
is the fourth nation to order Tiger XS in connection with an EU presidency. This
is the first major transaction in which we are able to see the strong influence
of the recently received NATO approval of the Tiger XS,” says Michael
Bertilsson, President of Sectra Communications.  

In every other EU country there's a Tiger 
Tiger products are used by decision-makers, officials and the military in more
than half of all EU member countries to protect telephone conversations. Sectra
is the only company that offers a product for voice communication that is
certified by both the EU and NATO. Telephone calls are protected over ordinary
telephone lines, GSM, ISDN and IP networks as well as via satellite systems. The
Tiger XS can also be used for encrypted telefax and secure data transfers.
