LUXEMBOURG & WARSAW, Poland - Wednesday, April 17th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Telecommunications operator Signalhorn SARL and Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 S.A. (WZŁ Nr 1) have reached an important milestone in their long-term agreement. Signalhorn and WZŁ have now received approval from the Polish Ministry of Economy (MOE) and Ministry of Defense (MOD) to proceed with the €5.6 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 WZŁ will now be in a position to offer these complex communication units worldwide. A component of the expansion includes the creation of Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP) testing laboratory for communication equipment allowing Signalhorn and WZŁ 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 defense agencies around the world.
