Hytera mobile radio system of the Dessau Municipal Works proves itself in a disaster
The Dessau Municipal Works coordinated the crisis situation in June 2013 with their new DMR trunked radio system from Hytera.
Because of the high waters in June 2013, a disaster situation was declared in the city of Dessau. To secure the radio communication in the concerned region, the digital mobile radio system from Hytera was successfully started up. Because of the immediate availability and reliability of the communication, the crisis management group of the Dessau Municipal Works could avert further damages to the region and gain a first impression of the performance capability of the system.
At the time of deployment for the crisis, the mobile radio system was already in the final phase of completion. The immediate commissioning for the crisis operation ran smoothly. Overall, 35 Hytera handheld radio devices (PD785G) were in operation for the crisis management group. The Dessau Municipal Works were impressed with the operational capabilities.
The mobile radio system based on the open mobile radio standard DMR TIER III presents the Dessau Municipal Works with a powerful voice and data communication. The installation consists of an exchange node and two base stations. The two radio cells cover the regions Dessau as well as Dessau-Roßlau. Following the crisis operation, the site acceptance in Dessau was performed successfully, so that the mobile radio system was officially accepted by the operating company DATEL.
