Based in Germany, Secusmart develops and implements solutions for protecting businesses and public authorities from electronic eavesdropping.

The proposed collaboration will leverage Tata Power SED’s expertise in security, software and hardware design and manufacturing and Secusmart’s expertise in software and security to provide a highly capable and secure communication solution meeting stringent government requirements, he said.

“I am proud of our continued success in delivering world-class security solutions, and am delighted that our cooperation with Tata Power SED will play such a crucial role in securing mobile communications for the Indian market,” Secusmart CEO, Dr Hans-Christoph Quelle said.
