contract to supply over 300 control rooms to Norwegian fire, health and police agencies
The Norwegian Authorities have signed a contract for the delivery of the new country-wide data- and communications network based on TETRA technology exclusively with Siemens AS, Norway. At the same time Frequentis signed a sub-contract with Siemens for supplying all the Control Rooms within this project. Later in 2007 the roll-out will start with the first Control Rooms in the Oslo area and run for a couple of years until the last installations up in Svalbard (also known as Spitzbergen).
Frequentis will supply its Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS) for small and medium size Control Rooms based on state-of-the-art technology. The operators of each of the Public Safety Agencies will be able to receive and make calls to and from the telephone network, the existing analogue radio as well as the new TETRA network. It will even be possible to transfer calls or to make conference calls between this three different means of communication. The operator can also for example receive pictures from a mobile phone via MMS, edit them and forward them to the TETRA terminal of the police officer out on the street – all the new and hip types of communications all of us are used to handle in our daily live will be supported.
Principally there will be in every one of the 27 Police Districts one Fire (110), one Police (112) and one Health (113) Control Room, as well as central training and education centres.
Commenting on the contract award, Hannes Bardach, Managing Director and owner of Frequentis stated, “We are really proud that our solution – a combination of leading edge technology and a fully task-oriented, intuitive Graphical User Interface – was chosen to ease the day to day work of hundreds of Public Safety Agents throughout Norway. It is important to bring all the new and mighty features of the TETRA network to the finger-tips of the users in a way most convenient and easy to use”.
