- EWR Netz GmbH of Germany expands
39-site TETRA network with WAVE Work Group Communications from
Motorola Solutions
- First WAVE utilities deployment in
Germany provides enhanced connectivity, interoperability and
collaboration by extending the reach of TETRA to LTE push-to-talk
(PTT) smartphone communications
The German power grid operator EWR Netz GmbH is using innovative
WAVE™ Work Group Communications from Motorola Solutions to deliver
enhanced connectivity, interoperability and collaboration to its
entire communications network.
Motorola Solutions’ WAVE technology extends the reach of EWR’s
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) digital radio system to already
deployed Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. When control room
and office-based personnel can use their own smart devices to
securely communicate on TETRA voice channels, collaboration with
radio-equipped field teams is faster, leading to improved response
times and more successful event outcomes.
“WAVE is a powerful business tool that allows us to create a
unified push-to-talk environment where everyone can participate in
business-critical communications, even if they are not using a
TETRA radio,” explained Johannes Krämer, CEO EWR Netz GmbH. “This
capability enables us to systematically extend our existing 39-site
Motorola Solutions TETRA network to meet future requirements.”
EXTENSION OF HIGHLY AVAILABLE TETRA SYSTEM
The biggest distributor of electricity, gas and water in the
Rhinehessen region has been successfully using Motorola Solutions’
TETRA infrastructure since 2007 to provide a secure and independent
communications platform for their employees.
WAVE now allows EWR Netz GmbH to extend its highly available
TETRA network to its partners such as public utility companies,
municipalities and local distributors in the region. In cases of
emergency or breakdowns, employees can access pre-defined TETRA
communications channels using their mobile devices equipped with
the WAVE Mobile Communicator application. The internal and external
users are still able to leverage the benefits of their TETRA
technology, but can also connect and set up group calls with their
employees via public radio networks. This is enabled by MOTOBRIDGE,
which is a scalable, cost-effective IP-based solution for quickly
establishing communications between different systems.
FUTURE LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) BROADBAND
CONNECTIVITY
“Our WAVE technology enables EWR and their local partners to
communicate flexibly and reliably at any time, no matter which
network or device they are using,” said Klaus Dieter Drossel, sales
director for key accounts, Motorola Solutions Germany GmbH. “We
provide a hybrid solution that extends the reach of EWR’s network
beyond the current radio system, enabling connectivity to
established mobile devices or even broadband networks in the
future.”
For further interoperability and performance enhancements, EWR
will deploy Motorola Solutions’ LTE PTT devices like the Motorola
LEX L10 mission-critical handheld device.
