Motorola shipped one million TETRA terminals

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Motorola Inc., a provider in development and deployment of TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) communication solutions, announced on Tuesday the shipments of its one millionth TETRA terminal. The customer receiving this terminal is the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF).

Motorola’s TETRA solutions in India continues its stronghold in the public safety sector while gaining fast traction in large and strategic infrastructure projects including metros and airports, said a press release.

It recently won contracts to build digital trunked radio communication network (TETRA) for Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad International Airports to serve their round-the-clock mission-critical communication needs.

Motorola’s journey with TETRA contracts in India started with a Metro project in 2001. Motorola’s communication solution also serves key rail network in India as well as the needs of the three wings of the National defense forces, the release said.

Subodh Vardhan, sales director and country head, Government and Public Safety, Motorola India, said, “Design for use is our philosophy, which stands for our commitment and support to designing and deploying devices that address the unique requirements of high risk situations. It enables users to focus on the mission, not the technology.”

He added that they feel proud in working very closely with their customers, incorporating their feedback and learning to the design and develop their products to ensure that their systems are not only reliable but also support the emotional and physical state of their users.

Motorola has also set up Government Radio Networks, a form of unified communication platform that helps multiple government agencies to collaborate and link over a common platform; examples include the city of Shanghai where Motorola’s Government Radio Network (GRN) was implemented, the release said.

This system, along with several other Motorola systems in Beijing, has successfully provided full-fledged communications service during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where 60,000 TETRA radio sets were used by the various agencies supporting the games in China.

Motorola’s complete portfolio of TETRA solutions includes infrastructure, terminals, applications and services that are now in use in over 85 countries worldwide, the release added.
