The TETRA system is also linked to the Liefkenshoek tunnel telephone exchange so that workers can also easily be reached within the organization.

The Liefkenshoek tunnel (Belgium), like the Waasland and Kennedy tunnels, is an indispensable link in the infrastructure of Antwerp. The enormous volumes of passenger and freight traffic at the toll facility place high demands on the communication equipment in terms of audio technology and excellent clarity. Flash Services delivered a TETRA system and indoor coverage, so the employees both inside and outside of the tubes can communicate securely.
 
In the Liefkenshoek tunnel, the maintenance service workers use the radios both inside and outside the tunnel tubes. The TETRA system is also linked to the Liefkenshoek tunnel telephone exchange so that workers can also easily be reached within the organization. Flash has not only provided the system and the necessary links, but also improved the existing technical infrastructure. This is key to worker safety.
 
Flash Services delivered a TETRA system consisting of a DAMM SB421 controller, BS421 carrier and 9 MTP850S Motorola radios. Indoor Coverage was accomplished using 2 Motorola MTM800E base stations.
