Motorola to deploy TETRA network for Romania's emergency services

Motorola Solutions has been commissioned to modernise and expand the coverage of Romania’s existing nationwide terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) network to provide the country’s public safety organisations with resilient and secure mission-critical communications.

As part of the seven-year framework agreement awarded by the Romanian government’s Special Telecommunication Service, Motorola Solutions will install 800 TETRA base stations across the country. The digital radio technology will support all police, fire, ambulance and national security services as they serve and protect the country’s 21 million citizens every day.

The network will also provide an interconnection between TETRA and broadband through the 3GPP standard-compliant mission-critical push-to-talk WAVE solution. This extends the TETRA network to enhance collaboration between teams.

Motorola Solutions will also provide 24/7 technical support, maintenance, repair and services. As a partner of public safety organisations in Romania for over 25 years, Motorola Solutions has also recently rolled out body-worn camera and communications deployments with the Romanian Police, Romanian Border Police and Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
