EDGE Group has expanded its partnership with CENSIPAM, the Brazilian Ministry of Defence agency responsible for the protection of the Legal and Blue Amazon. The new agreement which was signed at the LAAD Defence and Security exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, aims to supply an advanced, secure communications system tailored for the agency’s needs.
The collaboration will see EDGE entities KATIM, BEACON RED, and SIATT work together to deliver the integrated solution, which includes EDGE’s KATIM X3M ultra-secure smartphone, encrypted gateways, SIATT’s SATCOM link, and command and control software, alongside radios from the Brazilian Military Material Industry (IMBEL).
The announcement follows the signing of a Letter of Intent at the Mostra BID Exhibition in Brasília in 2024, where EDGE and CENSIPAM, together with SIATT, initiated the acquisition process for the ultra-secure communications system. The solution aims to offer reliable and secure communication capabilities for Brazil’s Ministry of Defence, ensuring operational efficiency in remote and challenging environments.
With this agreement EDGE continues to strengthen its position in the Latin American defense sector, providing critical technology solutions to meet the region’s security demands.
