Sicral 1B Satellite to Provide Communications Services in Support of Poland

Ministry of Defense of Poland and Telespazio – a Finmeccanica/Thales company – has signed in Warsaw a contract, worth around 30 million euro for a duration of more than 10 years, to provide Italian Sicral 1B space capacity in UHF frequency band.

Telespazio has acquired the rights of commercialization of the military satellite, property of Italian Ministry of Defense, due to its investment aimed to co-fund the final phase of the Program. The contract signed with the Polish Ministry of Defense represents for Telespazio another step forward in the implementation of its strategy to become a niche MILSATCOM Operator and Service Provider.
