Thales will carry-out the extension of the Jordanian TETRA communication network
May 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
The Jordanian government has renewed its confidence in Thales by awarding the Group with the extension of the nationwide TETRA communication network for Jordan.
In 2006, the Group was selected to supply its Professional Mobile Radio (PMR)
solution, DigiMax, for the installation of a nationwide Tetra network.
The Jordanian national network aims to provide Jordan Armed Forces, Public Safety, Police Security Agencies and the Civil Defense with a reliable, secure and easy-to-use communication system. With more than 160 base stations and 30,000 users, the fully
distributed TETRA network will be in operation by the end of 2012.
The multi-agency PMR network will integrate the Air Ground Air (AGA) communication
feature, making Jordan one of the first nations in the region with such advanced capabilities.
Communication between aircraft and ground users will increase the services provided to
citizens.
Equipped with a distributed architecture “Qualified in Real Conditions of Employment” and with an IP routing capability, the Thales’s solution offers reliability and interoperability.
Moreover, the “Multi-organisations” functionality enables users across different organisations
to operate on the same network (Police, Army, Safety Agencies, etc.) thanks to the solution’s
various core safety devices such as coding of class 1 to 3 and the authentication by dynamic
keys.
