Real-Life Testing Drives TETRA Terminal Choice for Fire and Civil Defence Author: Richard Bennett

CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS. It’s a real testament to mission-critical design when end-user testing is the key process used for selecting radio terminals. This is exactly the case with the recent TETRA Terminals tender won by Motorola Solutions in Norway. Users from both Norway’s Fire service and Norwegian Civil Defence tested devices from three vendors in real-life situations.

What decided the final choice of vendor? Motorola Solutions’ radios were first choice for users because of their superior voice quality, ruggedness and user friendly operation.

Users chose the MTP3250 and the MTP850Ex ATEX handheld TETRA digital radios as well as the MTM5400 TETRA mobile radio for installation in emergency vehicles.

The MTP3250 epitomises the latest thinking around mission critical terminal design – with a ‘Safer, Tougher, Easier’ design philosophy.

The MTP850Ex ATEX is intrinsically safe and is designed for users with heavy gloves making it the perfect choice for fire and rescue teams working in environments containing explosive gas or dust.

And the ‘Safer, Smarter, Faster’ MTM5400 mobile radio also supports TEDS so that users will be able to access a range of enhanced data services and applications.

As Manuel Torres, Senior Vice President, Government Sales, Europe and Africa, Motorola Solutions said:

“As the prime contractor of Nødnett, the new nationwide communication system for Norwegian public safety users, we have a strong presence in Norway. We are delighted that the fire users again have selected our TETRA radio devices and that the Norwegian Civil Defence have chosen our user friendly devices. We are fully committed to deliver solutions for their needs to support them in their mission critical communications.”
