The users of the Navarra region migrate to the EADS Defence & Security TETRA ra * The four-year service contract was signed last year
* A move towards more reliability and responsiveness

21 December 2009

One year after the selection of EADS Defence & Security (DS) by its Spanish partner Abertis to deploy, maintain and provide service for a TETRA radio network for the Navarra region, the user migration to the new EADS system has successfully been completed.

This four-year service contract includes the roll-out of the new TETRA infrastructure, its maintenance, as well as the integration with the existing 112 emergency centre.

This solution replaced an existing network supplied by a strong competitor in the Professional Mobile Radio market. The decision for EADS Defence & Security was made in an extremely competitive environment, thus reinforcing DS' position as the leading supplier for regional TETRA networks in Spain.

“We are glad that the users of the Navarra network have successfully migrated to our solution. The short roll-out phase of the new state-of-the-art solutions and the smooth migration to the new system without jeopardising the critical day-to-day tasks of different users confirms DS' expertise in TETRA solutions. The users of the Navarra region will benefit from extended services and improved reliability in their daily work” said Dirk Borchardt, Head of Security & Communication Solutions in EADS Defence & Security.
