NEWS Energis has won a five-year £12m contract from Logica to help the services company manage the wide area networking needs of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The two companies are building an IP-based virtual private network (VPN) that will enable CPS employees to access and share legal documents electronically rather than wait for the original copies to arrive by courier. The network will deploy a technology called multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) which enables the CPS to prioritise traffic. This should ensure that business critical data is given priority over less urgent traffic.
