Motorola Solutions, Inc. is highlighting its latest innovations at the largest Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) industry gathering in the world.

Coming to the Middle East for the first time in its 14 year-old history, the high-profile TETRA World Congress (TWC) runs from 14-17 May 2012 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center, and will emphasise the increasing demand for cutting-edge solutions that work instantly and intuitively while ensuring personal safety.

With security and safety at the heart of Motorola Solutions’ next generation TETRA portfolio, the company is set to unveil a new TETRA handheld radio series at TWC 2012 that will redefine industry standards in user safety and ease-of-use, as well as demonstrate the first public safety LTE device in the region.

In addition to these exciting innovations, Motorola will reveal the ultimate patrol vehicle–the future of policing, which is here today. This fully operational police car demonstrates the possibilities of the latest innovations in TETRA, TETRA Enhanced Data Services (TEDS) and LTE communications technology.

The ultimate patrol vehicle is the result of years of simulation, usability studies and field research and incorporates the latest technologies and integrated controls to enable streamlined decision-making and actions by officers on the street. The car has easy-to-reach controls with key functions tied to single button presses or simple voice commands. Its workstation runs applications such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and real-time video streaming over LTE and TEDS to empower and protect officers like never before.

Tom Quirke, Vice President and General Manager, TETRA Global Organisation, Motorola Solutions, said: “Motorola conducted years of research together with end users in patrol cars, who have highlighted to us the importance of intuitive technology in incident response. We have learnt that the safety as well as the effectiveness of emergency responders can be significantly improved when critical information is delivered to them in an automatic and intuitive way.”

“In the car environment, this means implementing vehicle controls that are integrated and easy to use – so that actions flow quickly and intuitively, requiring little thought during incident response. The Ultimate Patrol Car at TWC will demonstrate the latest innovations in TETRA, TEDS and LTE in one car to achieve a more secure, intuitive experience for frontline officers,” he added.
