Why embrace hybrid?
BENEFITS
Evolving mission-critical communications
HYBRID SOLUTIONS
The unique capabilities of Airbus TETRA and Tetrapol solutions, such as group communications, near-instant connection, mission-critical availability, reliability and security, are vital for public safety organisations.
Meanwhile, the introduction of broadband offers new capabilities with secure sharing of rich data-driven information such as location, multimedia and live video.
A hybrid solution is a TETRA, Tetrapol or PMR network and a broadband network used in parallel. Working seamlessly together, they deliver the benefits of mission-critical communications and professional broadband solution, Agnet.
Agnet supports different integration solutions, from tailored gateways to 3GPP-compliant Interworking Function (IWF). These enable seamless interoperability with existing narrowband systems of TETRA, Tetrapol and PMR.
