Permanent access to information networks and specialised applications is crucial to the efficiency of government agencies at national, regional and local levels, as well as security services, first responders and essential operators. As threats evolve, requirements change. Today's users need high-speed mobile broadband services and new apps to share rich content like maps, pictures and videos in real time. These new technologies and solutions are the key to more informed decision-making, better coordination of resources and improved operational performance.

The private networks in place today typically offer low data rates. They were primarily designed for voice communications and cannot keep pace with the evolving demands of government and other public agencies. At the same time, commercial 2G, 3G and 4G mobile communication networks offer higher bandwidth and transmission speeds, but do not deliver the necessary levels of security, coverage and resilience for these types of critical applications.

Thales has developed a unique 4^th generation 4G/LTE secure mobile communication service trusted operator services for users requiring secure, dependable mobile communications.

Thales’s Secure Mobile Virtual Network Operator (S-MVNO) will be shortly operational and commercially available in France. Known as EIJI, it includes a range of turnkey services and subscription options to match different customer needs.
