The Swedish IT and telecom company Sectra has received an order from the
Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the eavesdrop-secure GSM
telephone Tiger. The order is valued at slightly more than USD 1.2 million
and includes 300 telephones, accessories and support systems.

"It is very pleasing that the Swedish Defense are increasing the use of
Sectra Tiger," says Per Unell, President of Sectra Communications AB. The
Swedish Defense has previously purchased 600 Tiger telephones.

The Tiger system, which was developed by Sectra in cooperation with the
Swedish Defense, is a combined GSM/DECT telephone with built-in voice and
data encryption that fulfills the defense highest specifications for
eavesdrop security. The Tiger guarantees secure communication all the way
from the transmitter to the receiver, for voice and data transmissions as
well as SMS services. The Tiger system operates with a standard
subscription in the public GSM network and fixed-wire network. Through use
of the fixed telenet, the telephone can be used in locations not reached
by a GSM net.
