The Valencia Ministry of Health has invested 1.1 million euros in the acquisition of new TETRA radios and in the contracting of services associated with programming, installation and maintenance.
ADESAL TELECOM announced that The Ministry of Health and Generalitat Valenciana has formalized with ADESAL TELECOM, owned by Cellnex Telecom and Global Omnium, the purchase, commissioning and maintenance of 506 SC20 portable radios and 136 SCG22 mobile radios from Sepura for use by the Health Services (SESCV) and Emergency Services (GVA COMDES).

The acquisition of these new state-of-the-art transmitters allows an improvement in critical communications in adverse situations. The new Sepura SC20 transmitters now used by the SESCV are also characterised by incorporating greater transmission power and sensitivity that guarantees communication in places where there may be less network coverage.
The new radio stations also have the advantage of a longer autonomy compared to the previous ones. In fact, the batteries they have are long-lasting and can be used for several working days. In the same way, these radios are equipped with large screens, which makes it easy to see the telephone calls in progress, as well as the available coverage and the state in which the battery is found.
These new TETRA Radios also incorporate an innovative and exclusive functionality that supports remote reprogramming and updating of these radios, the so called 'Over-The-Air Programming' (OTAP). Wherever they are, broadcasters load the latest software release onto the radio, reducing costs and time. This solution prevents technical personnel from travelling throughout the territory of the Valencian Community to update the stations in situ in the event of a modification in the geographical layout of the bases of the different SAMU's, SVB'S and PAS, thus contributing to the reduction of the carbonfootprint Carbon Footprint and sustainability in terms of the provision of the service.
