The project falls under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, with a projected timescale for implementation of two years and a contract price of € 8,750,709 including VAT.

The “DORY” project is a typical integrated satellite services project (“turnkey” implementation) covering the procurement, installation and operation of the necessary equipment and the provision of telephony, Internet interconnection and data network interconnection for the 13 Agencies and Ministries of the Public Sector.
