The radios will be delivered within the Nødnett phase 2 for Paramedics and Health Services in five counties covering 775 000 inhabitants.

Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communications solutions, has been selected to deliver Terrestrial Trunked Radios (TETRA) digital radio terminals to Norway’s Voluntary Rescue Organisations as well as the Norwegian Fire and Health agencies in the latest tenders from the Norwegian Directorate for Emergency Communication (DNK).

The selection of Motorola Solutions’ devices follows a process wherein users from both services tested devices from all vendors in real-life situations. Motorola Solutions radios were the first choice for users because of their superior voice quality, ruggedness and user friendliness.

The three agreements cover the delivery of four radio models, including  5000 units for the Norwegian Fire Service and 2000 for Paramedics and the Health Service as part of phases 2 and 3 of the Nødnett project, and an additional 1900 units for Norway’s Voluntary and Rescue Services, which Motorola won together with its partner TC Connect.

DNK and users have chosen the new TETRA handheld MTP3200 and MTP3250 digital radios, as well as the MTM5400 and MTM5500 vehicle mobile radios. With this decision Norway’s Fire and Health users are joining over 2 million users around the world who trust TETRA digital radios from Motorola in mission critical situations.
