Cassidian to equip Taiwan with an island-wide TETRA network
60 base stations and 1,500 terminals provided by Cassidian to be delivered via local reseller Highpull.
The Taiwanese telecommunications company Chunghwa
Telecom, as the prime contractor, awarded Cassidian the contract to deploy an
island-wide TETRA network in Taiwan for the Ministry of National Defense of the
Republic of China (ROC). Cassidian will deliver the network and terminals via its
local value-added reseller (VAR) Highpull Technology Co., Ltd. The deployment
of the TETRA infrastructure across the island and the delivery of the terminals
will be concluded within a timeframe of three years.
60 base stations (TB3
and TB3c)
and 1,500 terminals (THR9i,
TMR880i and TGR990) will be delivered
for the use by the Military Police Command, which is responsible for all
Military Police units and operations. Together with the existing TETRA system
in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, which was also supplied by Cassidian in 2005,
a true nationwide network with almost 5,000 terminals will support the customer’s
operations seamlessly.
“We are honoured to play such an important role in
professional radio communications in Taiwan,” said David Chan, Head of APAC
Secure Communication Solutions at Cassidian. “This contract highlights the fact
that our proven TETRA solution is recognised as a result of our ability to
provide a truly seamless network, including its installation, launch and
construction, as well as a modern, reliable after-sales service.”
