Motorola Awarded its Third TETRA Contract in Denmark

Copenhagen, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire)

- Danish State Railways Chooses Motorola and TetraNet to Supply
New Communications System
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, October 20 /PRNewswire/ --
Following a competitive tender, the Danish State Railways (DSB)
S-train has awarded Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and TetraNet the
contract to provide a new TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) network.
The new network will deliver seamless communications for the DSB's
service personnel, including train inspectors and drivers. As a
result of this agreement, all public transportation organisations in
the capital, Copenhagen, will now be relying on TETRA technology and
services to meet their communication needs.

The contract covers a voice and data network and the provision of
Motorola MTH800 portable radios. In addition equipment for DSB
S-train's command and control centres will be provided, as well as
air-time service and maintenance. The network will be delivered
before the end of 2005 as part of a rapid rollout as part of DSB
S-train's IT strategy to improve efficiency.
The MTH800 portable radios are capable of traditional voice calls
and sending and receiving data, meaning mobile users can access DSB
databases in the field. The portable radios are equipped with a WAP
(Wireless Application Protocol) browser for internet access and
include a GPS (General Positioning Satellite) receiver, meaning
users' locations can be pinpointed even from inside the trains.
The GPS features are a key part of the system for DSB S-train. In
the case of an incident or issue, the control centre can quickly and
easily see who is in the best location to solve it. GPS also has an
effect on personnel safety, as each radio has an emergency button
which shows the user's exact whereabouts providing greater peace of
mind and personal safety.
TETRA technology was chosen because of its proven operational
reliability and its ability to prioritise traffic. The decision is
part of DSB S trains overall strategy to improve and future-proof its
IT facilities as much as possible.
"The solution gives DSB S-train a service that meets its needs for
voice and data communications on a day-to-day basis, but it also
gives our Customer the peace of mind that should there be an
emergency situation TETRA is the best technology to deal with this,"
comments Bo Wassberg, Country Manager, Motorola Denmark. "Where ease
of operation and security are key criteria, TETRA is the preferred
solution. We believe we were chosen because of our experience as well
as our ability to deploy this service in the short timescale the
Customer needed"
Although the TETRA open-standard was initially developed for
mission critical environments, it has also been embraced by public
transportation organisations, which have organisational requirements
for secure, reliable voice and data communications. In Denmark, the
Copenhagen Metro was the first organisation to choose TETRA, followed
by Hovedstadens Udviklingsrråd (HUR), operating more that 1,200 buses
and now the commuter train services have also chosen TETRA.
