Bavarian PSOs reduce emergency response times

The Ministry of the Interior of the German federal state of Bavaria has awarded a framework contract to Motorola Solutions to deliver up to 55,000 Advisor TPG2200 TETRA two-way radio pagers to the federal state’s emergency services.

When road accidents, natural disasters and other dangerous events occur, Bavaria relies on the state’s firefighters, emergency personnel and healthcare workers to secure public safety. In these critical moments, speed, reliability and encrypted digital communication is of crucial importance. Motorola Solutions’ two-way pagers alert emergency services via the nationwide TETRA digital radio network, designed for reliable performance in all conditions.

The Advisor TPG 2200 TETRA pagers have a lightweight, ruggedised and compact design designed for easy carry in any scenario. When an emergency occurs, users can read and respond to alerts on the pager’s backlit, two-inch colour display, even in situations with low visibility. The device is IP54-rated for dust and water protection with a battery life of up to 48 hours to last any shift.

The scope of the framework agreement includes a TETRA Integrated Terminal Management (iTM) solution that enables emergency services to manage software upgrades remotely, helping to minimise labour and operational costs.
