<p>The Foreign & Commonwealth Office provides communications to its diplomatic
premises around the world through the ECHO network delivered by Vodafone. The department
does not keep a register of equipment used in the ECHO network. Many official residences
also make use of ECHO connectivity, or contract local communications providers. The
department does not keep a central register of equipment used for non-ECHO networks.
Where communications are sensitive, data is encrypted to a suitable level across the
ECHO network, thereby safeguarding the information.</p>
