The 8,000 digital two-way radios will be used by the police, fire departments, emergency services, civil protection, customs and road maintenance agencies in Luxembourg. The order includes the delivery of MTP850 S TETRA portable radios, MTM5400 TETRA mobile radios and TCR1000 TETRA covert radios.

KEY FACTS

The Motorola MTP850S has been designed to support the highest level of security including end-to-end encryption, GPS location to automatically transmit the user’s location, as well as a “man-down” sensor ensuring that life-threatening situations are identified, located and resources are allocated quickly.
- The Motorola MTM5400 mobile radio provides extended coverage, exceptional audio performance and advanced data connectivity to address current and future critical communication needs. The MTM5400 features an integrated gateway that connects other users operating in direct mode with control room staff and other colleagues on the TETRA network. Through its exceptional TETRA radio frequency (RF) capability, the MTM5400 delivers an increase of up to 14 per cent in the network’s reach compared to similar radios in its class*.
- The Motorola TCR1000 provides fully featured TETRA radio functionality in covert operations. The compact body-worn TETRA covert radio can easily be concealed in light clothing and ensures secure communications, as well as improves operational effectiveness, for covert officers.
- The Motorola TETRA portfolio comprises infrastructure solutions, terminals, applications and services, which are currently used in over 120 countries around the world. Motorola Solutions sold more than two million TETRA terminals worldwide to date, confirming its technology and market leadership in digital radio communications for public safety.
