You might have heard about Thales, and you may know about some of their work in the defence arena where Thales technology is trusted to protect in the most critical situations. But you may not know Thales isn’t just developing new technology, they’re inventing whole new ways of doing things. In fact, they’re an exciting company at the forefront of delivering trusted solutions that protect people and organisations with customers worldwide.
Their work is impressive and extensive. For example, in aerospace every day more than 130,000 passengers use Thales’ in-flight entertainment systems which equates to around 50 million viewers per year. And they secure the information systems for 19 of the world’s 20 largest banks. In the UK, Thales helps keep railways safer because almost every train in the UK is fitted with their Train Protection & Warning System, whilst on the underground they are upgrading signaling to provide greater capacity and reliability. The work is certainly leading-edge.
