COLOGNE – CGI Inc. says it has signed a contract with NATO to implement a highly secure mobile telecommunications system between top brass at the military alliance.
The information technology company says the project will allow “NATO executives and selected target groups” to send classified information over an ironclad network, regardless of their location, marking a shift away from wired connection.
The deal was inked with NATO’s Communications and Information Agency, though terms were not disclosed.
The agency and CGI are spearheading the project, named Hermes after the messenger of the Greek gods.
CGI says it will include a new service operation centre that houses a monitoring system, support line and training program.
The contract comes after chief executive François Boulanger told analysts last month that he sees “a lot of potential” in the military sector, given the sharp ramp-up in defence spending in Canada and Europe.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Dec. 11, 2025.
