The government of Bermuda released a request for proposals (RFP) for a public-safety radio system in 2017. PowerTrunk is supplying the TETRA network equipment. The contract includes the transition from the old analog voice-only radio system to one that features digital voice and data capabilities. An increase in radio performance included enhanced coverage and greater capacity, along with interoperable communications for all government agencies and key partners during an emergency or crisis.

The new radio system includes redundancy and reliability that will minimize the impact of failures because of hurricanes or other unexpected events, and the government’s annual radio expenditures will be reduced by about 60% during the 15-year life of the new system.
