Ayios Nikolaos (Ay Nik) is about 20 minutes’ drive from Dhekelia Garrison.
The station is located in the Eastern Sovereign Base Area (ESBA) on the main road to Famagusta.
Our location places us just 20 to 30 minutes drive from Protaras and Ayia Napa, two of the island’s most renowned night life and tourist areas. The station is home to the majority of Joint Service Signal Unit (JSSU) Cyprus (Cyp) and its command.
The JSSU (Cyp) was formed in 2003 as a result of the amalgamation of JSSU (Ayios Nikolaos) and elements of 12 Signal Unit RAF. As part of the Joint Service Signal Organisation, the JSSU is a static communications organisation maintaining secure links from Cyprus to the rest of the world.
It is a fully integrated, proactive and responsive JSSU, making a key contribution to defence. The vast majority of the unit’s personnel live and work in Ay Nik in the ESBA, however the unit also has large detachments at Akrotiri and Episkopi in the Western Sovereign Base Area and at the Retained Site in Troodos.
