[Satellite TODAY 05-18-11] TS2 Satellite Technologies has won a significant new contract with the Government Protection Bureau (GPB) in Poland, the company announced May 17.

     TS2 will provide global connections for Iridium 9505a and Sailor SC4000 satellite phones, which are used by GPB officials.

The GBP 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.
