Mira Telecom offered solutions for perimeter and indoors security, public warning systems, detectors for explosives, drugs, radioactive substances, toxic gas and biological agents and a wide variety of telecommunication equipment dedicated to military activity.

"We tried to diversify our activity and, due to the experience we have accumulated in the Romanian line of business we want to convince the Austrian and perhaps the South German companies to invest in Romania because this business area is becoming more and more competitive. This is the reason for which we opened an office in Austria, which does not mean a relocation of Mira Telecom’'s activity", says Stelian Ilie, Mira Telecom’'s President, at the Mobile Communications debates in November 2008.
