Motorola claimed digital radio communication orders from Delhi and Mumbai metro across their networks. The solutions will be based on TETRA technology. Motorola has similar contracts from Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad airports.

 As part of the deal, Motorola will deploy its scalable Dimetra IP system supporting voice, messaging and mobile applications. Motorola says that the system is capable of full interoperability across multiple users segments thereby improving operational efficiency and achieving fail-safe seamless communications essential for ensuring passenger safety and security.  

Announcing the wins, Subodh Vardhan, director sales and country head, Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Motorola India, said “The cornerstone of any mass rapid transit system is robust and fail-safe instant communication to ensure safety of commuters and optimum operational efficiency.  Motorola’s next-generation TETRA solution offers the right mix of mission-critical voice and data communication for seamless connectivity and real-time information to support critical functions, and also to enable a secure interoperable communication platform for emergency situations.  With over 500 digital mission-critical networks successfully rolled out worldwide, including major strategic projects in India, we are very pleased to be bringing in our global learning to meet the stringent standards of these two metro projects in India.”
