The World Youth Day with the Pope's four-day visit adds another high security event that required intensive use of the SIRDEE network, guaranteeing secure mission critical communication. These include the Traffic Police, the Royal House, the Prime Minister's Cabinet, the Emergency Military Unit (UME), the Spanish Navy, the Galicia Region the Autonomous Police, the Torrelavega Local Police and Fire Brigade and the Cantabria Region Civil Protection Service, as well as the Balearic Islands and Logroño. Apart from the MoI organisations – Guardia Civil and National Police – several other users have joined SIRDEE. A special coordination room was created with 40 members of 13 different security organisations receiving input from the forces in the field.ĭeployed since 2000, the SIRDEE network is the national mobile voice and data communications network based on an infrastructure of TETRAPOL digital security radio communications technology supplied by Cassidian. Besides the protection of the pope and the public,the police forces had to face the challenge of maintaining order during the anti-Pope demonstrations. Over 10.000 members of the security forces guaranteed the safety of the pope and the pilgrims.

Individual calls increased more than 166 % during the busiest days, with full availability for the Tetrapol users. The number of SIRDEE network users more than doubled during peak times of the World Youth Day week in the area without any negative impact in the network performance. Cassidian also actively participated in the maintenance support for the SIRDEE users: National Police, Civil Guard, Royal House and Prime Minister’s Office and offered together with Telefónica continuous 24 hours emergency support. This event has been probably the most demanding for the national mobile voice and data communications network SIRDEE (Sistema de Radiocomunicaciones Digitales de Emergencia del Estado) in terms of the concentration of people being protected. Other networks can be found worldwide (South and Central America, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Oceania and Africa).As announced in a press release, Cassidian's C4I technology was employed by Spanish Police forces during the recent World Youth Day in Madrid in order to ensure that all activities went smoothly and guaranteed the safety of the Pope and more than 1.5 million visitors.
#SISTEMA TETRAPOL UPGRADE#
The system is favored in North America for its upgrade option on existing analogue radio networks in the area. P25 is an open standard by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). It's also seen widespread success within the ham radio community mainly due to low costs. It can also be used in unlicensed 446 MHz spectrum.ĭMR is a limited open digital mobile radio standard defined by ETSI and used in commercial products around the world. It offers voice and data and a better spectrum efficiency than TETRA. dPMR is a more recent standard than TETRA. Networks can be found worldwide.ĭPMR is an open standard by ETSI. It is favored in Europe for its extensibility and lower entry barrier for competitors in the market. TETRA is a more recent standard than Tetrapol taking over concepts from cell phones.

#SISTEMA TETRAPOL PROFESSIONAL#
TETRAPOL currently has 80 networks deployed in 34 countries.ĮADS (Connexity) and Siemens (S-PRO) are among the major manufacturers of professional radio systems based on the TETRAPOL specification. Among the first users was the French National Gendarmerie in 1988 for its RUBIS system. Matra/EADS developed TETRAPOL and delivered an operational digital trunked radio system at an early date. Tetrapol Publicly Available Specifications (registration required) has detailed information and an overview picture. End-to-end encryption is an integral part of the standard. TETRAPOL is a fully digital, FDMA, professional mobile radio system for closed user groups, standardizing the whole radio network from data and voice terminal via base stations to switching equipment, including interfaces to the Public switched telephone network and data networks.
