Motorola Solutions will supply the federal public safety organisations in Germany with cutting edge TETRA digital radio solutions for three more years.

Motorola Solutions will continue to supply the Central Procurement Office of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (Beschaffungsamt des Bundesministeriums des Innern – BMI) with an estimated 30,000 TETRA digital two-way radios as well as suitable accessories, software and services. The technology will be used by German federal public safety users, which include the federal police (Bundespolizei), the federal criminal police (Bundeskriminalamt), the German federal agency for technical relief (Technisches Hilfswerk) and the German customs.

This significant contract signature for Motorola Solutions continues to build the company’s reputation as an important supplier for TETRA systems, solutions and terminals for mission-critical communications. The agreement includes the delivery of the MTP6750 TETRA portable two-way radio, which is easy-to-use, secure, and robust and delivers high receiver sensitivity, a high-quality audio and features for evidence capture and authentication. The TETRA handheld also provides features to comply with German public safety authority standards and requirements.

Another key element of the framework contract is the supply of Motorola Solutions’ MTM800 TETRA mobile radio for enhanced and reliable communications in public safety vehicles. With its ease of operation, high audio quality, intuitive keypad and high-definition colour display, the MTM800 was developed for areas where rugged and versatile mobile radios are essential. Within the scope of the contract, Motorola Solutions will also supply software and services including training, engineering and repair.

“At Motorola Solutions, we are dedicated to further invest in our TETRA technology which will lead into the future of mission-critical communications”, said Mark Schmidl, vice president of sales for Motorola Solutions in Europe, Middle East and Africa. “With our future-oriented solutions and our international TETRA Center of Excellence in Berlin we continue to invest in the field of TETRA digital radio solutions and guarantee close collaboration with our German customers.”
