The deal will see Orange and HP provide secure communications between the different arms of the European executive.
The contract is designed to support the Commission's sTesta initiative, which is meant to shore up the continent's border security by improving the efficiency of communications.
It's hoped sTesta will help Europe crack down on money laundering by connecting up crime-fighting agencies such as Europol and Fado, as well as clamping down on unlawful freight by enabling improved exchange of information on tachography cards, which record details on lorry drivers' rigs.
