Motorola offers wide area digital radio solution
Improves Safety and Efficiency
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and the city is also
Greece’s second major economic, industrial, commercial and political Centre and
a major transportation hub for the rest of southeastern Europe.
In order to
improve critical communications through extended coverage and enhanced
security.The Ministry of Interior (MoI) of Thessaloniki has deployed a radio network
based on Motorola’s MOTOTRBO™ and
point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridge
technology, to take advantage of Motorola’s wide area digital radio solution
MOTOTRBO.
Helecom, American International Radio (AIR), Inc’s local partner has
helped to implement this MOTOTRBO wireless network. It also incorporates SafeDispatch, a
sophisticated GPS based tracking application from Motorola Application Partner SafeMobile.
Principal users of
the network are field personnel from the MOI who not only require highly-secure
communications but contiguous coverage to ensure radio contact between users and
headquarters. The older analogue network had been vulnerable to potential security
breaches and fraught with communication ‘dead zones’.
After evaluating a
number of solutions, the decision was made to design a robust network with a
MOTOTRBO digital radio system at the core.
MOTOTRBO offers
numerous benefits over traditional analogue systems. These include: double the
call capacity on an existing frequency which reduces equipment costs, improved
voice quality at greater range, simultaneous voice and data transmission, text
messaging, encryption, and GPS location tracking.

operational Efficiency with MOTOTRBO
One of the
first steps was to install a primary
MOTOTRBO DR 3000 VHF
repeater on the mountain of Xortiatis, high above the city with a Point to
Point 100 Series Ethernet bridge (PTP 100) link to the MOI’s headquarters which
hosts a DM 3601 mobile radio and a router to provide access to the internet.
This was required for the IP Site
Connect feature, which enables the
MOTOTRBO system to work
through an IP network, allowing users to share voice and data applications,
create widespread coverage and eliminate the problems, caused by interference
and physical barriers. It gives field personnel, equipped with
DP 3601 MOTOTRBO portable radios, the ability to roam seamlessly between
sites without having to physically change channels.
“This can effectively work across the
entire country, even when the vehicles are mobile; the only downside being the
lack of available 3G services nationwide where, in certain areas users will
have to resort to lower GPRS speeds - but they still maintain that vital
communication link,” notes Demitris Kekas, Director at Helecom.
Owing
to Motorola’s digital radio solution MOTOTRBO,
American International Radio (AIR), Inc. was able to improve safety and
efficiency of the city of Thessaloniki. Because of its high flexibility and
many features this system it adapts perfectly to the customers needs and offers a great usability in many application areas.
