Mexico City TETRA upgraded by Airbus

The public safety TETRA network in Mexico City is being upgraded by Airbus.

A new TETRA network will be installed for public safety agency Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Distrito Federal, with a larger capacity to meet the needs of approximately 30,000 end users.

Besides significant hardware and software upgrades with the latest DXTA TETRA server and management system, NetBoss, Airbus will also renew and increase the number of dispatch positions with the Radio Console System 9500. Furthermore, the network coverage will be enhanced. The contract also includes the replacement of existing radios with new devices, as well as technical support and maintenance service.

The network will secure an area of about 1500 km2 with a population of nearly 9 million inhabitants, which makes it one of the densest metropoles in the world. 

“Before placing our offer to the Secretariat, we took a close look at the Secretariat’s mission-critical communications requirements. As a result, Airbus put on the table a tailor-made solution,” said Fred Gallart, head of Sales and Program Delivery for Latin America of Secure Land Communications at Airbus.
