Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) recently announced its new DIMETRA Connect solution and MXP660 TETRA radio, allowing front-line responders to automatically switch between land mobile radio (LMR) and broadband networks.
Industry sources added that both of them collectively, aid the teams to stay connected to their communications lifeline, thereby aiding in the critical partnership, productivity, and safety.
Mogens Sandberg Brix, Division Officer and Inspector at Greater Copenhagen Fire Department stated “The ability to automatically switch from LMR to broadband when we move deep inside buildings or into heavily built-up areas is essential to our missions. Our teams can stay connected as they fight fires or navigate myriad challenging environments, without losing focus on their priority of protecting life and property.”
Ildefonso De La Cruz Morales, Principal Analyst, Critical Communications at Omdia stated “TETRA will continue to play a central role in mission-critical voice communications for public safety agencies and enterprises. Innovations like DIMETRA Connect are enabling organizations to invest in a communications roadmap with proven, reliable LMR voice communications at the centre, leveraging broadband to extend coverage whilst reducing up-front infrastructure costs.”
De La Cruz Morales stated “The design of the new MXP660 builds upon the functionality and usability of the dependable TETRA devices that Motorola Solutions customers are accustomed to. Users maintain their existing workflows and gain the benefits of built-in LTE and enhanced connectivity via DIMETRA Connect, all without additional training requirements.”
Industry sources further added that Denmark’s Sikkerhedsnet (SINE) network will be among the first to deploy DIMETRA Connect to provide better security, protection, and operational performance for their first responders. It is one of the thousands of radio systems from Motorola Solutions, which operates single sites to scalable nationwide solutions across the world, including Austria’s TETRON Digitalfunk, Norway’s Nødnett, and Portugal’s SIRESP.
