Government Protection Bureau in Poland will use Iridium satellite phones

The Government Protection Bureau (GPB) in Poland has kept it local by selecting Warsaw-based TS2 Satellite Technologies as the preferred bidder to provide its new satellite telecommunications system.

Often referred to as Poland’s equivalent of the United States Secret Service, the Government Protection Bureau provides anti-terrorism and VIP security services for the Polish government.

Formed in 1956, its close protection teams shadow a variety of government and diplomatic VIPs such as Poland’s President, Prime Minister, and visiting foreign heads of state.

TS2, which also supplies satellite broadband services to US forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, will provide GPB officials with global connections for Iridium 9505a and Sailor SC4000 satellite phones.

Security service gains satellite phones

Poland’s equivalent of the U.S. Secret Service has contracted the TS2 Satellite Technologies to provide global communications for its officials.

The connections will be for the Government Protection Bureau’s Iridium 9505a and Sailor SC4000 satellite telephones, the company announced.

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.

TS2, a Polish company that has provided satellite broadband service for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, said GPB officials on foreign missions 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. The orbital parameters, combined with a high number of coordinated satellites, allow constant access to telecommunications services from anywhere on Earth, it said.

The company also offers communications using the satellite constellations of Thuraya, Inmarsat, Eutelsat and Intelsat.
