Airbus launches TETRA pager in Germany
The Airbus Defence and Space TETRA pager P8GR is now available to public safety authorities and organisations in Hesse, Germany.
Approximately 50,000 firefighters and other rescue workers in the region will be making use of the two-way communication system.
The Hesse BOS tested a total of 1000 devices and their accessories during successful comprehensive field and function tests.
The P8GR met the certification requirements of the German Federal Agency for Public Safety Digital Radio (BDBOS). It also satisfied the functionality, interoperability and safety requirements set for Germany’s BOS digital radio network in the course of its final acceptance by the Hesse Ministry of the Interior and Sports.
“This final acceptance sends out a signal for our markets in Europe, because Airbus Defence and Space has swiftly developed a mission-critical innovation into a product that is suitable for the most demanding markets,” said Markus Kolland, head of sales and delivery for Europe and Africa of Secure Land Communications at Airbus Defence and Space.
The P8GR enables secure two-way communication between the control centre and the operational units. It offers all the essential TETRA features for alerting groups, subgroups and individuals. At the same time, it allows the planning and dispatching of emergency services personnel in real time.
It is expected that the entire emergency personnel in Hesse will be using the pager by the end of 2018.
