Secure satVoIP net handed over to Iraqi government
A secure VoIP-over-satellite network–billed as the world’s largest–has been built for Iraq’s Ministry of the Interior. Construction on the Iraq Command and Control Network was started in November 2004 for the interim elections in January 2005. The network has been expanding since then to connect 100 sites. The lead contractor was Proactive Communications, Inc., which this week handed ownership of the network over to the Iraqi government. Other participants in the project were Blue Ridge Networks, Loral Skynet, PingTone Communications and iDirect.
