Offering a decentralized architecture and the rugged, compact outdoor base station, DAMM TetraFlex® was the ideal choice.

DAMM System Partner ALCON designed, installed and commissioned the solution in 2012, and is the operator leasing radio communication to customers in the region.

Gilberto Koza - CEO, ALCON states: “With DAMM both network design, as well as commissioning with the compact, low weight BS421 is very easy - and thereby provides flexibility, quick installation and a cost saving solution for our customer. Especially in a challenging topography, like Vitória city project, the flexible and scalable system of DAMM TetraFlex® is an ideal solution.”

Radio users in traffic, health and public services, rely on DAMM 24/7 and Alcon´s support for critical radio communication to keep the citizens of Vitória safe.
