The Ministry of the Interior of the German federal state of Bavaria has awarded a framework contract to Government Technology and Services Coalition member and mentor partner, Motorola Solutions. Under the terms of the contract, the company will deliver up to 55,000 ADVISOR TPG2200 TETRA two-way radio pagers to the federal state’s emergency services.
The ADVISOR TPG 2200 TETRA two-way pagers have a lightweight, rugged and compact design which makes them suitable to be carried in all scenarios. When an emergency occurs, users can read and respond to alerts on the pager’s bright, two-inch color 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 well beyond the average shift.
“Fire, ambulance and rescue organizations rely on a network of trained volunteers to respond to emergencies. Those volunteers need reliable and robust technology to raise the alert,” said Axel Kukuk, regional sales lead and country manager for Germany at Motorola Solutions. “The project marks another major milestone for Motorola Solutions’ TETRA pager deliveries for Bavaria, as the company has already signed contracts with the state’s Ministry of Interior for 80,000 TETRA pagers that are used by its fire brigades and ambulance service”.
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 minimize labor and operational costs.
