Georgia is continuing to modernize its state border communications system. To this end, a high-speed fiber-optic network is being laid across various sectors to make the work of border services more reliable and efficient.
As part of the project, the US Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) delivered several dozen routers to the Operational-Technical Agency of the State Security Service of Georgia (SSG), which will be used to establish the network across 35 border sectors.
“Beka Mamardashvili, Director of the Operational-Technical Agency, thanked David Kennedy, head of the Caucasus regional office of the US Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), for the support provided and years of successful cooperation.
Within the framework of the high-speed network development project, the Operational-Technical Agency of Georgia has already built fiber-optic network infrastructure in several sectors of the state border.
Notably, in February of this year, the agency set up a backup satellite internet system on a pilot basis in the “Lekiskure” border sector of the Border Police, significantly improving information exchange and management processes.
Currently, the procurement of several dozen more satellite internet equipment sets and related services is underway. Under the project, the high-speed network will be deployed in 35 border sectors,” — reads the statement by the State Security Service of Georgia.
