EADS Defence & Security (DS) has been commissioned by Brazil’s Departamento de Polícia Federal (DPF) to expand the digital radio network of the Brazilian Federal Police on the basis of the Tetrapol standard in order to cover all the state´s capitals and the frontier areas.
The existing system covers the metropolitan areas of Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Sao Paulo. In the current implementation phase, the states in the North-East and in the South will be integrated into the radio network. In the recent extension, the Federal Police will complete the coverage in the northern and central-western states, especially in the frontier areas.
The Tetrapol IP Network delivered by EADS DS provides advanced secure encrypted digital communication for voice and dates. In particular, the integration of all unities of the DPF is to further improve their operational efficiency and their services to the Brazilian citizens. Upon completion the network will be composed of nine regional networks based on Tetrapol IP with 27 tactical management sites, 100 fixed base stations and 220 independent digital repeaters to provide service around 9000 terminals.
The Tetrapol IP network is one part of the PROAMATEC project, the national programme to modernise the Brazilian Federal Police. Beside the telecommunications systems, the main project areas comprise recognition and identification systems, forensic laboratories, helicopters, information technology, logistic support and training for the Federal Police. It will be finalised end of 2010.
"EADS DS is not only supplying the technology for PROAMATEC, but is also contributing its system integration know-how. With these capabilities, we support the Brazilian Federal Police to deal successfully with the daily challenges in the revealing of corruption and organised crime", states Hervé Guillou, CEO of Defence and Communications Systems (DCS), an integrated Business Unit of EADS DS.
