Portugal Selects Motorola for Secure Nationwide TETRA System

London (ots/PRNewswire)

- Multi Million Euro, 15-Year Security and Emergency Services
Project Represents 'A Revolution in Internal Security'
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced that the Portuguese
government has awarded the Motorola Consortium the SIRESP (Integrated
System of Portugal's Emergency and Security Networks) project for the
implementation of the Portuguese Ministry of Interior's nationwide
TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) radio system. The first phase of
the system will go live at the end of June 2007 and will cover
Lisbon, Setubal and Madeira. Nationwide rollout is expected by 2010.
The SIRESP project was established to enable seamless inter-agency
voice and data communications across 53,500 users in the police, fire
and ambulance services, as well as other public safety and civil
protection agencies. Motorola's TETRA infrastructure will support the
full range of voice, data and image transmission.
The Consortium consists of Portugal Telecom, Esegur, SLN, Datacomp
and Motorola, and is responsible for the rollout, operations, Managed
and Professional services for the project and 15 year operation. The
project will be rolled out in a succession of phases, each of them
embracing new users on to the network. Motorola is responsible for
the TETRA Network planning, equipment supply, installation and
ongoing Managed Services that will bring the project to fruition and
continued operation over a 15 year operational period.
Antonio Costa, Portugal's Minister for the Interior, said: "The
SIRESP project was a lengthy and complex tender process. The Motorola
Consortium was selected on the basis that it presented the most
interoperable, cost effective and secure choice. For the first time,
our security forces will be able to communicate seamlessly with other
agencies -- this represents a revolution for Portugal's internal
security and we know that Motorola has a proven track record in
similar projects."
Manuel Torres, Motorola, said: "A reliable, resilient and fully
managed communications network is the key to helping the emergency
services meet their targets in terms of efficiency and response
times. All major services in Portugal -- including GNR (National
Republic Guard), PSP (Public Safety Police), INEM (National Institute
for Medical Emergency) and SNBPC (National Services of Fire Brigade
and Civil Protection) -- will now use SIRESP for their primary
communications needs. We are delighted to be making these seamless
communications a reality."
The award sees Motorola build on its experience of providing and
supporting mission and business critical communications in Portugal
with previous contracts in Madeira as well as Lisbon Municipality.
Motorola has a 65-year history in mission critical communications,
and to date has been awarded more than 280 TETRA contracts in more
than 64 countries.
