Motorola Solutions has been chosen by the Band Administration Entity (EAF), established by Brazil’s Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), to deploy a comprehensive federal mission-critical communication system. This initiative aims to enable seamless, real-time collaboration among Brazil’s defense and public safety agencies during joint operations.

Brazil has faced longstanding challenges in coordinating front-line response efforts across multiple jurisdictions. To address these issues, Motorola will integrate existing land mobile radio (LMR) systems with new broadband services, enhancing interoperability and data sharing capabilities.

The core of this upgrade is the deployment of WAVE PTX, a 3GPP standards-compliant platform that will operate over the country’s private 4G network, and Critical Connect, a service facilitating interoperability between 4G broadband, P25, TETRA, and DMR LMR systems. This combined nationwide solution will empower organizations such as the Brazilian Army, Federal Highway Patrol, and the Distrito Federal Military Police with reliable LMR voice communications and advanced broadband features, including video streaming and rich data sharing.

Starting from Brasília, the new system will enable agencies to exchange critical information more efficiently, coordinate responses effectively, and make better-informed decisions — ultimately improving public safety and community protection.
“Efficiently addressing drug trafficking, organized crime, and natural disasters demands highly coordinated multi-agency responses. The current fragmented communication systems have caused delays that undermine response efforts. This new solution eliminates those barriers, providing reliable connectivity for federal agencies and, in the next phase, state military and civil police, to significantly enhance response times and mission success,” said Geraldo Segatto, head of the Government Private Network Project at EAF.

“We are proud to support Brazil’s vision of public safety modernization by delivering a platform that combines the proven reliability of land mobile radio with media-rich broadband capabilities. This integration offers resilience, improved situational awareness, and seamless interoperability, enabling faster and more effective emergency responses nationwide,” said Edison Ambrosio, Sales Director for Defense and Federal Markets at Motorola Solutions.
