Signalhorn reaches milestone with WZL Nr 1 and the Polish Military

Telecommunications operator Signalhorn SARL and Wojskowe ZakLady Lacznosci Nr 1 S.A. (WZL Nr 1) have reached an important milestone in their long-term agreement. Signalhorn and WZL have now received approval from the Polish Ministry of Economy (MOE) and Ministry of Defense (MOD) to proceed with the EUR5.6 million agreement and exclusive partnership.

After more than two decades of producing advanced military command and control field operation communication units for the Polish Ministry of Defense, Signalhorn and WZL will now be in a position to offer these complex communication units worldwide. A component of the expansion includes the creation of a Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP) testing laboratory for communication equipment allowing Signalhorn and WZL to certify and produce communication solutions that will withstand electromagnetic shock in the event of a nuclear event. This benefit is requested by a number of defence agencies around the world.

"We are pleased to have received approval from the MOE and MOD for this project and we are looking forward to advancing our joint interests with Signalhorn quickly and efficiently," states RadosLaw Groszek, WZL Nr 1 President and CEO.

"The 10-year agreement between Signalhorn and WZL is expected to yield significant economic results for both organisations," states Robert Kubbernus, Signalhorn President and CEO. "Many government, NGO and defence organisations have substantial requirements for transportable and mobile communication solutions that support command and control efforts. This also includes areas where peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts are under way."
