L’ACMOSS and Airbus Deploy Radio Network of the Future (RRF) Terminals During the National Congress of French Firefighters

The initiative received a particularly positive reception for the organization of a large-scale event bringing together 550 exhibitors, 3,300 delegates, 1,500 volunteers and more than 100,000 visitors.

The Agency for Operational Mobile Communications for Security and Rescue (L'ACMOSS) and Airbus, in partnership with the Midi Pyrénées Organizing Committee (Comipy), successfully carried out an experimental deployment of 140 terminals and 3 dispatch stations of the Radio Network of the Future (RRF) during the National Congress of French Firefighters (CNSPF) 2023 in Toulouse, which took place from October 4 to 8.

For this particularly innovative provisional deployment, representatives of the Departmental Fire and Rescue Services (SDIS) from the eight departments of the Organizing Committee were trained in the advances of the SYRIUS critical communications solution developed by Airbus SLC and its associated accessories in operational condition. All the teams at the Exhibition Center and Convention & Congress Center of Toulouse Métropole (MEET) as well as SDIS 31 were thus able to benefit from a unique, innovative, priority, secure and high-speed communication service with a high level of resilience.

This scenario validated the efficiency and robustness of the equipment, confirming their operational impact for the fire service professions. Users were able to experience the many features provided by the service and implement prioritized calls, the instant messaging application, the Push to Talk function, video transfer as well as geolocation sharing, particularly appreciated in operational conditions. of the living room. The use of the low-speed gateway has shown its effectiveness in coordinating voluntary actors equipped with “low-speed” terminals.
