28th jun 2004 - The consortium of bidders consisting
of Alcatel, Motorola, and Telekom Austria is pleased
to be awarded with the installation and the operation
of the tetra radio network for authorities in Austria.
The three companies are for years working successfully

Motorola is a longtime partner of the Ministry of the
Interior and has already carried out several radio solutions
for the Austrian executive authorities. The tetra technology
to be deployed now has already been successfully implemented
by Motorola in Europe. Nationwide tetra networks of
Motorola with complete coverage are in use in Great
Britain and the Netherlands. Already in the past, Alcatel
has successfully collaborated with the Ministry of the
Interior in terms of various voice and data networks.
As longtime partner of the Austrian Republic in the
field of security matters, Telekom Austria administers
great experience in this collaboration. Telekom Austria
operates a great number of security networks for the
Austrian republic and the provinces, for example the
"Bundes-Warn-Alarmring", the "Strahlenschutz-Meldenetz"
as well as the TUS-lines and has an area-wide high-performance
transport network.
With the today issued award the consortium is pleased
to be able to contribute to Austrian security in a first
time joint Austrian-French-American collaboration and
