EADS helps with World Cup and G8 security
EADS Defence & Security (DS) products and solutions are playing an important role in several major sports and political events in 2010
The company says its communication systems help those responsible for event security to deliver end-to-end protection for participants, observers and organisers, as well as discreet protection for VIPs.
In 2010, communication products and solutions from EADS Defence & Security (DS) are key players at the G8 summit in Canada, the Soccer World Cup in South Africa and the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, for example. In 2009, the same products and solutions contributed to the smooth running of the week-long People's Republic of China's 60th Anniversary as well as the Tour de France bicycle race.
"We are delighted that our communication systems play their part in ensuring security for so many great events this year. These are very high-profile events, and we are confident that the success of our digital trunked network during the Beijing Games in 2008 and during the 60th Anniversary celebration of the People's Republic of China in 2009 can be repeated in other occasions," said Dirk Borchardt, Head of Security & Communication Solutions at EADS Defence & Security.
