Thales will deliver the new variant of communications network RITA N4 for army level 4, or the GTIA (groupement tactique inter-armes) combined arms task force, a new level of command to be networked with higher ranks.
The new communications network will provide GTIA with services including e-mail, attachments, voice over IP at all command levels, as the company had previously delivered RITA for the army command levels 1 to 3.
The French Army has deployed the RITA network on several fields of operations to date. RITA N4 is an extension of the RITA 2G network.
