TKS
U.S. Armed Forces – Telecommunications for 75,000 Service Members in Europe
TKS Telepost Kabel-Service, a Vodafone company, and CNT work in close partnership to deliver secure, high-performance telephony and network services for U.S. and NATO forces stationed in Germany and across Europe. Their collaboration ensures seamless communication at critical sites such as Ramstein Air Base, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, and many others.
Telecommunications for U.S. Service Members in Europe
TKS provides fully integrated QuadPlay services – internet, TV, fixed-line telephony, and mobile – designed specifically for the needs of U.S. and NATO service members, civilian personnel, and their families. Over 75,000 people rely on TKS infrastructure and support in Germany alone.
In TKS shops located on U.S. military bases, service members can sign up for communication services in minutes. CNT supports this by automating service provisioning, assigning phone numbers, and ensuring instant router configuration – enabling users to get connected without delays.
TKS offers a dedicated app and service model tailored to the realities of military life. Whether it's a deployment or PCS move, phone numbers remain active and portable, and services can travel with the user – helping them stay in touch, wherever duty takes them.
