Hytera Modernizes Nationwide Radio Network in Slovakia using TETRA

RADIOPOL, Bratislava, are carrying out a full nationwide system replacement and has decided to invest in the latest Hytera TETRA system with more than 30 base stations.

In this way the mobile radio experts from Bad Münder are updating the nationwide network in Slovakia to the latest state-of-the-art. With Hytera, RADIOPOL has a strong partner at its side who stands for quality, reliability, good support and good price-performance ratio.

The new Hytera TETRA system offers many important network features and services, a high level of redundancy and flexibility – ensuring the installation can be adapted to changing requirements and can be expanded effortlessly as the user network and communication needs grow. These were some of the reasons RADIOPOL decided to move forward with the Hytera solution: as it stands the nationwide network still does not provide full coverage in the country, a situation that is to change in the medium term.

The focus of the radio network is principally around the capital, Bratislava, in the Western part of Slovakia, supported with strategic coverage in industrial centres where important factories and facilities are located. Key users of the network include industrial manufacturers, leading car producers and public transportation, for whom instant voice and data transmissions are essential for a smooth production process.

For this reason the migration from the old network to the new network by March 2018 will also be implemented with the network in operation. Frank Pauer, Deputy CSO at Hytera Mobilfunk:

"We are delighted that RADIOPOL is placing such great trust in us. Our system is perfectly suited to the local requirements with its functional reliability and its flexibility."
