GTS Central Europe (GTS), a leading infrastructure based provider of integrated telecommunications services, has successfully defended its contract to provide telecommunication services to the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

112 representative offices of the Foreign Ministry including the embassies in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia will be linked. GTS has provided telecommunications services for the Ministry since 2009. The current contract for the amount of more than 5 mil Euros provides for the requirements of the Foreign Ministry until 2016.

“We are very proud that we have successfully defended our association with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and have renewed our contract to provide key telecommunication services to this institution. We do everything we can and are committed to seeing that they get sufficiently secure, quality services that ensure the smooth functioning of communications between their representative offices around the world,” said Petr Mozis, Sales Director, GTS Czech.

The tender to provide for the telecommunication requirements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took place in February of this year and GTS won the open, public competition in cooperation with the GiTy Company. Together, by means of terrestrial and satellite links, they provide connections between a total of 112 representative offices. The GTS IP VPN service connects Czech embassies around the world with the Foreign Ministry’s central office and simplifies communications between Czech representatives and their colleagues in Prague.
