According to David Sangster, Airwave’s UK Services Director: “It is a robust messaging device with the added benefit of receipt acknowledgement. It is a world first and offers significant advantages over analogue paging systems.”

Airwave will be showcasing their innovative two-way messaging device - TETRA Messenger - to visitors and delegates attending British APCO 2012, which takes place from 16-17 April 2012.

TETRA Messenger, which was recently shortlisted in the category for Best TETRA Innovation at the inaugural International TETRA Awards 2012, is a secure, resilient alerting solution that provides two way messaging on the Airwave Network. The GPS functionality means that control rooms can pinpoint the whereabouts of on-duty responders and assists the management of their resources more effectively.

According to David Sangster, Airwave’s UK Services Director: “It is a robust messaging device with the added benefit of receipt acknowledgement. It is a world first and offers significant advantages over analogue paging systems.”

The pre-programmed responses (respond and react) can be easily integrated into existing control room systems giving the operators access to real-time updates.

David went on to say that “TETRA Messenger empowers organisations to manage their workforce resources more efficiently as a result of better incident management”.

Delegates attending British APCO 2012, which is taking place from 16-17 April 2012 at Manchester Central (previously Manchester GMEX), will be able to witness a live demonstration from Airwave’s products team.
