further £650,000 to Westminster's growing annual recurring revenue

Commenting on the latest contract award Westminster's CEO,

"Mobile phones and other illicit
communication devices are a significant and growing problem in
prisons and custodial centres due to their potential to facilitate
illegal activities and compromise security. Such devices are used
to coordinate criminal activities, including drug trafficking,
harassment, and escape attempts. These devices also pose a threat
to prison staff and other inmates by enabling communication with
the outside world, leading to potential violence and unrest within
the prison environment.
"As a leading provider of security
solutions to governments and organisation around the world,
Westminster is perfectly placed to assist prison authorities
counter such threats and I am delighted we have secured this latest
important new contract in Europe."
