THAILAND - Motorola Solutions is supporting the installation of a nationwide digital communications network in Thailand.

State-owned CAT Telecom operates the country’s telecoms infrastructure and will provide government agencies, emergency services and other critical enterprises with access to the mission-critical TETRA network.

The shared operator system is described as “highly scalable”, and when complete, it will have capacity to serve more than 200,000 users.

Deployment is said to be well under way with CAT utilising Motorola Solutions’ broadband enabled push-to-talk platform.

The vendor reckons this will enable seamless communication between radio users and other workers via smartphones, tablets, desktop computers and other devices.

Motorola says its system will also deliver next-generation capabilities including location services to pinpoint radio users and other resources in the field, providing improved response to large-scale events.

“Any country experiencing significant growth in infrastructure, innovation, education and skills requires an advanced communications system,” says Marcel Verdonk, Motorola Solutions GM for emerging Asia.

“This TETRA system will support Thailand’s continuing investment in infrastructure modernisation as well as job creation through its construction.”
