Motorola Solutions secures five-year contract from Portuguese government ministry for public safety
Motorola Solutions has secured a five-year contract from the Portuguese Ministry of the Internal Administration to maintain and enhance the country’s public safety communications network. This agreement enables 180 public safety agencies and 40,000 first responders including police, fire and medical services to benefit from a modern, highly reliable and secure TETRA communications network.
Built and deployed by Motorola Solutions and operated by SIRESP (Sistema Integrado de Redes de Emergência e Segurança de Portugal), the digital radio network continues to provide vital communications to public safety organisations in Portugal during day-to-day operations as well as during emergencies, such as wildfires, floods and associated rescue missions.
Motorola Solutions will deliver a suite of public safety services for SIRESP, including 24×7 local support and technical consultancy services, helping to keep technology up-to-date, secure and performing reliably in any situation or emergency.
“We value and respect the trusted partnership we have shared with SIRESP and Portugal’s public safety organisations for many years,” says Michael Kaae, corporate vice president at Motorola Solutions. “Public safety communications is an essential service that must operate at the highest levels and in the harshest environments. With the combination of our resilient, purpose-built technology and strong local team of communications experts, we’re proud to continue supporting Portugal’s public safety agencies in their mission to protect the nation’s communities.”
