Telstra and Motorola Solutions will provide Tasmania\u2019s emergency responders and government organizations with a highly advanced, state-wide mission critical communications network to effectively respond to emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract to design, build, operate and maintain Tasmania\u2019s Government Radio Network (TasGRN) will provide enhanced digital communication and vastly improved radio network coverage for Tasmania\u2019s public safety and essential services personnel throughout the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The innovative network will be built on a feature-rich technology platform to provide a variety of additional capabilities for today and the future. These include broadband push-to-talk services enabling seamless communication between radios, smartphones and other devices as well as enhanced integration between existing communication centers\u2019 operating systems and Motorola Solutions\u2019 consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In delivering the contract, Telstra will draw on its extensive experience in delivering wireless communications services and managing radio systems for public safety agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telstra Enterprise Executive, Gretchen Cooke, said: \u201cTasGRN will be the largest single project Telstra has ever carried out in Tasmania and will transform the way government agencies communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis new radio network will be more reliable, more resilient, more secure and will replace five separate systems so Tasmania\u2019s emergency services can communicate with confidence to help keep Tasmanians safe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Con Balaskas, Vice President Motorola Solutions Australia and New Zealand, said: \u201cThe new communications service will enable Tasmania\u2019s emergency services to manage increasingly complex operational requirements \u2013 from combating natural disasters, to dealing with the evolving security landscape and beyond<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn addition to instant and interoperable communications across multiple government organizations, the contract will provide managed services to keep all of TasGRN\u2019s critical technology, infrastructure and features up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur involvement in this significant project for Tasmania demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the highest levels of safety for communities as well as the emergency responders that put their lives on the line every day to protect them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Government Radio Network will be constructed over the next three years with associated services running over 12 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
