Over the last 15 years, the company has provided manageability and operational efficiency to a large variety of of (TETRA) networks.

Until now, the Mentura product-line has been called the TETRA Management Suite as TETRA has been Mentura's primary network platform.

Over the years Mentura have witnessed the development path of TETRA systems, and pioneered together with many of their customers and partners Mission Critical Data services. Since the company is now doing so much more than TETRA solutions, Mentura recently renamed their offering.

COREMOTE is now Mentura's concept for smart management of critical operations. This consists of smooth migration to hybrid and broadband network, with true convergence of different network technologies – to enable seamless and secure operations using always the best available networks. The variety of tools for accomplishing this is just getting better. Smarter mobile devices with customisation capabilities, cameras, sensors, readers etc, broadband networks, big data, new ways to interact with the public. According to Mentura, it gets more interesting – but more complex.

Mentura needed to make it manageable to reap the true benefits while guaranteeing the reliability and safety. According to the company, technology is a tool, an enabler. Its true value (if any) is defined by the users.

The centre and focus of the COREMOTE concept is not a network, a device, or even the user. The focus is the professional organisation, the team aiming to complete their important task – whether a daily routine or a critical mission where security of the public or lives may be at stake. Mentura's mission is now to offer these organisations innovative solutions for guaranteeing the safety, security and efficiency of their work.

So what is happening to Mentura TETRA Management Suite? The company is gradually migrating all product functions under the new brand. In the COREMOTE platform, some of the functions will merge to provide more integrated user features. TETRA will remain an elementary part of Mentura's expertise, as the company sees TETRA as the mission critical voice solution of choice for still many years to come (and of course – it can do lots of data as well).
