ISITEP (Inter System Interoperability for Tetra-TetraPol Networks), the EU project to develop a shared communications network for Europe’s first responders has started its first interoperability trial today.

The demo aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a police cross border cooperation scenario using the ISITEP frameworks (procedures, network technology, terminals and supporting tools) and assessing the associated benefits.

Main actors during the trial are the countries of Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands. Communications will take place through three TETRA networks, suported by three vendors; Airbus Defence and Space, Finmeccanica and Motorola Solutions.
