23rd July 2004 - The Parisian public transport agency
(RATP), one of the world's largest, will upgrade its
private mobile radio network with digital TETRA technology
from Nokia. RATP has awarded the contract for its network
modernization to Alcatel, which will deploy Nokia TETRA
equipment to cover Paris' extensive Metro, express line
and bus system.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2007 and
will ensure improved performance of the transport network
in terms of efficiency, continuity of services and security.
The TETRA network to be deployed by Alcatel comprises
six Nokia TETRA switches and around 500 TETRA base stations,
as well as operator consoles developed by Alcatel using
Nokia's open interfaces, and Alcatel's mass transit-specific
applications. The network will enable mobile voice and
data connectivity for over 10,000 personnel including
bus, express-line and metro conductors, as well as maintenance
crews and security personnel.
"TETRA as an open standard brings the benefit of
competition in the market place. We are glad to have
been able to provide the most suitable solution for
RATP and Alcatel," says Hans Holmberg, Vice President,
TETRA Sales and Marketing, Nokia. "Again, our Nokia
TETRA solution has also proven its ease of integration.
And the RATP users will be certain to benefit from the
many secure solutions in our TETRA system".
