Polish Prison Services moves to Digital Mobile Radio
The Polish Prison Service has decided to replace it’s analogue fleet of radios with a DMR radio communication system to support critical communications for the organisational units of the Service.
In order to secure efficient and reliable communications, the Polish Prison Services, for its radio migration project, decided that a DMR base station will be provided at each location of the prison services. Additionally, as part of the order, about 1,600 DMR digital radios will have to be delivered.
At present, the organizational units of the Prison Services mainly uses analog radios such as radio from the Motorola GP300 series as well as the Radmor 3037 radio. The old system has become obsolete and generates increasing maintenance costs. In addition, due to the lack of encryption, the old system does not guarantee the required level of security and is exposed to the possibility of eavesdropping.
To start an easy migration, the Prison Services decided that it also will use the new radios in the analogue mode and as part of the project installation, commissioning and training will be included, writes RadioTech on its website.
In order to enable an easy migration and to straeamline to transition process, the Prison Services requests that all radios must originate from the same manufacturer. Also the DMR system will have to be easy to expand with additional repeaters, base stations, two-way radios and new users without having to replace any components.
The delivery also includes the application of the radio dispatcher and administrator to manage the network of digital-analogue and analogue radios, enabling remote system operation.
