The Office for Civil Protection in South Tyrol has awarded Airbus Defence and Space and its Austrian partner company Center Communications Systems an extension contract for the Tetra radio communication network in South Tyrol, Italy. The conclusion of this second-phase contract was achieved only one year after signing the first contract. The Tetra network will replace over 40 analogue communications systems currently used by the civil protection organisations. Thanks to the extension the whole province will be covered by secure digital radio communications. The implementation of a new training system will support the introduction of the Tetra technology and the new devices to the end users, who now use over 50 analogue systems. The contract includes an extension of the radio coverage by 47 sites up to a total of 102 sites using the advanced Tetra TB3 base station. www.airbusdefenceandspace.com
