Cassidian presents new TETRA pager

At this year’s PMRExpo (Professional Mobile Radio), Cassidian will be unveiling the first Tetra paging device P8GR to fully comply with the functional, interoperability and security requirements of the digital radio network of German security authorities and organisations (Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben - BOS). Tetra (terrestrial trunked radio) is a standard for digital trunked radio. The device has been designed to meet the needs of voluntary fire brigades, relief organisations and also critical infrastructure operators.

The P8GR is easy to deploy and combines good availability, even in areas where coverage is poor, with battery autonomy and robustness, all in a compact format. In contrast to standard analogue paging devices, Cassidian’s new Tetra pager enables secure two-way communication between the control centre and the operational units. It offers all the essential Tetra features for alerting, such as group calls, thereby enabling units to plan and carry out missions in real time.
