Airbus Defence and Space has won a contract from the Ministry of Interior of Lebanon for a Terrestrial Trunked Radio (Tetra) communication system for the country’s General Directorate of General Security. Airbus announced the award on 20 January.
The contract includes the delivery of Tetra switches, base stations, dispatcher workstations and more than 2,000 radio terminals.
The Tetra network will replace the existing analogue networks and will be made available to more than 3,000 subscribers of the government intelligence services that ensure national security and public order throughout Lebanon. Airbus Defence and Space’s network will offer full coverage across the whole country with innovative features.
The new system is expected to be fully deployed by the first quarter of 2015.
