Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), the world’s leading
provider of mission-critical communications solutions, today
announces that it has been awarded a contract to provide Iberia,
Spain’s leading airline, with an advanced TETRA (TErrestrial
Trunked RAdio) digital radio system. With the deployment of the
TETRA Dimetra IP Compact infrastructure, radio communications, both
indoor and outdoor, will be greatly improved for the staff of
Iberia working in different areas of the airport in Madrid.
Motorola will deploy its Dimetra IP Compact solution in
collaboration with its partner Amper Sistemas. The improved
IP-based TETRA solution provides a highly flexible and scalable
architecture that supports voice and data services as well as
mobile applications, including remote access to data bases and
image transmission – all over one unique network.
KEY FACTS
- In 2000, Iberia set up a TETRA system
from Motorola Solutions to facilitate communications between staff
members working at Madrid Barajas airport.
- The system operates in Madrid Barajas
Airport, which is one of the main tourist entry points in Spain. In
2010, more than 49 million passengers, representing an average of
136,000 daily travelers, were processed through the airport, which
means that reliable and uninterrupted communications are vital to
providing the level of services required by demanding users.
- The previous TETRA Dimetra system will
be replaced by the latest version Dimetra IP Compact, which
includes redundancy and 14 dispatches and logging posts. More than
1,000 terminals and six base stations will be reused, as the
Motorola Solutions Dimetra systems are compatible.
- The Dimetra IP Compact TETRA digital
radio solution from Motorola Solutions will provide efficient,
reliable communications at any time throughout the airport, both
indoors and outdoors, with the necessary level of security. At the
same time, the solution meets the growing needs for data
transmission as well as voice for aircraft operations.
- For Iberia, it is important to sustain
high customer satisfaction through efficient aircraft operations.
The new IP-based radio system provides a reliable communications
solution to ensure efficient management of operations and passenger
safety.
