Airbus Tactilon Suite TSA app

The Tactilon Suite TSA app from Airbus Defence and Space securely connects standard smart device users with TETRA networks, including push-to-talk. The application is designed for hybrid networks, which allows smart devices to be used for professional communications in a secure and controlled way.

Bringing together tried-and-tested TETRA and additional broadband capabilities, the app enables professional users to communicate with each other, regardless of whether they are using a TETRA radio or a smart device. It is suitable for users who prefer smart devices but do not require full mission-critical services on account of possible limitations in broadband service availability. It is also designed to help public safety organisations, such as the police and rescue services, to have more flexibility during their operations.

The app works on any standard 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi broadband service. In addition to TETRA group and individual calling, other features such as group scanning, emergency calling, status and short data messages are now available. Control room operators can use their existing tools and equipment to manage, coordinate and control users and talk groups, including the users of smart devices. They can manage user rights and talk group memberships, or deactivate users within the TETRA network, via one single process and with the same tool for both smartphone accounts and radio users.
