Axell Wireless TETRA system for Singapore’s first responders

Axell Wireless has provided equipment to upgrade Singapore’s public safety network to support TETRA. The project covers every major iconic and government building in the country, as well as the entire metro network.

Axell supplied a network of digital channel selective off-air systems for in-building coverage and selected outdoor areas of Singapore. The company’s fibre DAS solutions were chosen to provide coverage inside the metro, which currently comprises 180 km of lines; plans are in place to double it by 2030.

The limited amount of existing fibre at a number of Singapore Metro stations presented challenges to the deployment. Axell’s engineering experts enabled a fibre optimisation strategy, providing public safety coverage at all metro stations without the need for the additional costs associated with further fibre deployment.

The entire public safety network is monitored using Axell’s remote monitoring system, AEM (Axell Element Manager). The system enables support teams to manage equipment from multiple sites, closely monitoring the network and identifying the need for changes as and when they arise.
