Spain - IAPsolutions is going to supply the TETRA technology based communications network management solution to be used at the Control Centre of the Guadiana Hydrographical Confederation (CHG) for continuous control of water quality and network status.

The CHG has an alert network, the Automatic Water Information System (SAICA), made up of 30 Automatic Alert Stations (EAA) aligned along the spanish river basin to monitor water quality parameters, process the collected information, and send it to the Basin Control Centre (CCC).

The data is sent (telemetry and images) every 15 minutes via a radio telecommunications network that interconnects the measuring stations to the Control Centre and which operates with Motorola TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) technology. The system makes mobile communications possible for CHG personnel even when using vehicles and laptops as they move around the basin.

The network is now going to be expanded with a Claricor system made up of three Base Stations that provide support to the current TETRA system in the coverage area of the stations. The other Claricor elements (servers) will be located in the CHG offices in Merida and Don Benito.

The solution proposed by IAPsolutions, based on its IAPTeNMS product, provides integrated management and monitoring of the communications infrastructure, ensuring maximum availability for critical environments such as the CHG.
