Dansk Beredskabskommunikation A/S (DBK), a Motorola Solutions company, has been awarded an eight-year contract by the Danish National Police’s Center for Emergency Communication (CFB) to implement and continue to operate the nationwide public safety communications network.
DBK provides the existing Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) system which has, since its implementation, proven its reliability and criticality to Denmark’s 40,000 first responders and military personnel in day-to-day operations and emergencies.
The agreement allows emergency services to collaborate effectively over the highly resilient and secure TETRA network and will also include a new functionality enabling first responders to automatically switch between land mobile radio (LMR) and broadband service, including WiFi, 4G and 5G networks. The new TETRA infrastructure will enable first responders to maintain reliable and uninterrupted communication through their TETRA talk groups when radio users move out of range, for example, in indoor or underground facilities.
The contract for the next-generation emergency services network will include a security operations centre (SOC) that will monitor the performance of the network in real-time so that cybersecurity threats can be addressed more quickly and efficiently.
Denmark is among many countries worldwide that continue to invest in TETRA digital radio technology as the backbone for their mission-critical voice communications for public safety organisations. Motorola Solutions has deployed thousands of radio systems worldwide, from large nationwide networks to local implementations.
