New digital radio network ensures reliable, real-time coordination for security operations.

A new Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) communication system from Caltta Technologies is now fully operational at Gran Vía 2, the major commercial hub adjacent to Fira Barcelona in Barcelona. Deployed in partnership with Troncal Radio, the system delivers reliable, seamless communications to enhance operational efficiency for private security teams across the complex.

The ETSI-compliant solution provides stable connectivity in the high-traffic environment, ensuring fast, clear voice communication and reliable short data capabilities. This enables security personnel to coordinate in real-time and manage incidents more effectively.

“These advancements have greatly contributed to enhanced safety and more efficient daily operations for both the management and security teams at Gran Vía 2,” said José María Casas Casadesús, General Manager of Troncal Radio. “As the local partner, our role was to customize the deployment to the unique conditions of Gran Vía 2, overseeing installation and ensuring that all site-specific requirements were effectively addressed.”

“Our objective is to deliver systems that are resilient, easy to operate, and scalable to meet our customers’ evolving needs. Caltta will continue to serve and safeguard users across Public Safety, Transportation, Utilities, and Enterprise sectors,” said Leo Li, Sales Director, at Caltta Overseas.
