telent to manage rollout of digital Private Mobile Radio (PMR) network for emergency services in Germany

telent has been awarded a contract by Germany’s Bavarian Ministry of the Interior to act as prime contractor for the rollout of a TETRA radio network for the region’s emergency services by 2012. Under the contract, telent will manage the rollout of Private Mobile Radio (PMR) sites across Bavaria and coordinate the project with German Federal authorities. TETRA-based PMR offers reduced risk of radio interception, higher quality transmission and improved functionality over analogue radio systems. A pilot TETRA radio project, led by the Bavarian DigiNet group, is already underway in the city and district of Munich, as part of plans to replace existing analogue radio systems across the whole of Germany by 2012.
