Sectra deploys new standard that facilitates European partnerships 

Sectra, Europe's leading supplier of secure telephony, has taken the
strategic decision to adapt its secure voice communication products to
the SCIP standard. Already by spring 2011, the Tiger and Panthon
products will support SCIP.

“We will be the first company in the European market to offer products
that support the SCIP standard for handling security-classified
information at the Secret and Restricted levels,” says Jeroen de
Muijnck, President of Sectra Communications BV.

SCIP (Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol) is a NATO
standard for secure voice communications that is in demand among
government authorities in Europe and that is required in NATO
procurement processes. Sectra has extensive experience of designing
secure telephony products and is a member of the SCIP working group.

“By deploying the SCIP standard, Sectra is contributing to facilitating
secure telephony in various types of European partnerships. The
company's customers will be able to communicate securely with all of
those who ultimately choose to use products that support this standard,”
says Jeroen de Muijnck.

The company's secure telephony products, Sectra Tiger and Panthon, are
deployed by European decision makers, officials and armed forces. Tiger
XS is the only product in the market for secure telephony that is
certified at the highest security level, Secret, by the EU and NATO.
Sectra will now adapt these products to the SCIP standard and all users
will be able to converse securely with one another.

Information that can cause grave damage if disclosed is classified as
Secret. Information that can cause minor yet undesirable effects if
disclosed is classified as Restricted.
