A partnership between Proximus and Thales has won a contract to modernise the IT infrastructure of NATO’s Communications and Information Agency (NCIA).

The project, which will run until the end of 2029, will see the partners “provide a state-of-the-art integrated technology ecosystem to revolutionize the operations and collaboration of NCIA users”, according to a press release from Proximus.

The deal will see Thales provide secure cloud infrastructure to the organisation, while Proximus will provide Wi-Fi infrastructure at NATO sites in The Hague, Netherlands, and Braine l’Alleud, Belgium.

In addition, Proximus and Thales will provide NCIA with various managed services, including cloud, cybersecurity, platform administration, networking, and end-user devices, including over 5,000 new laptops.

Combined, these services are expected to enhance NCIA’s capabilities, improve compatibility, and ensure optimal performance.

“By outsourcing standard services to trusted industry leaders, NCIA is taking a forward-looking approach that guarantees a fully managed, secure and scalable solution,” said Alex Bottero, Vice President Network Systems and Infrastructure at Thales.

Financial details of the deal were not revealed, but it could be worth over €100 million according to Belgian newspaper L’Echo.
