The future of Tetrapol

FUTURE

Public safety organisations face an increasing demand for more extensive data capacities. Tetrapol can achieve these capacities via a hybrid transition phase between full narrowband and broadband.

Our Tactilon® suite of hybrid solutions is the best way to build a hybrid Tetrapol-LTE network, allowing you to tap into broadband capabilities such as multimedia and location services while maintaining the resilience of your Tetrapol solution.

Tetrapol continuously evolves to support this growing need for extensive data capacity. With full interoperability with broadband services, Tactilon allows your Tetrapol solution to utilise multimedia services and add Agnet® users to your Tetrapol group.

Tetrapol remains an excellent solution to provide direct mode operation (DMO) capability in the future, and to assist with the smooth transition from narrowband to broadband.

Bring your Tetrapol solution into the future with our hybrid deployment expertise.

Frequently asked questions

FAQS

How long will you maintain Airbus Tetrapol networks?

Ensuring that our customers can use and operate their critical communications networks from a secure and long-term perspective is one of our key priorities. That's why we're closely working and exchanging with our customers to discuss their current and future needs related to narrowband networks and readiness to migrate to new broadband solutions. Therefore, we are committed to supporting and maintaining the Airbus Tetrapol technologies for our customers until 2035.

How can I buy Airbus Tetrapol radios and accessories?

The best way to purchase Airbus Tetrapol radios is to reach out to our sales team via this link so they can help you find the appropriate channel, depending on your location.

Why should I consider adopting new broadband critical communications capabilities?

The capabilities offered by broadband (4G, 5G, satellite) are helping organisations to succeed in their missions. Multimedia capabilities such as video streaming and geolocation data give a much better understanding of a situation, saving lives and producing efficiencies.
Our Agnet solution, combined with professional services, is the best solution for secure broadband critical communications.


If you’re using a narrowband network, our hybrid solutions allow a smooth transition to broadband.

Can I keep my Tetrapol network live while adopting Agnet broadband capabilities, such as video calls and multimedia?

The shift to mission-critical broadband involves more than just a smartphone app. Devices, networks, control systems and narrowband-integrated applications need attention. A step-by-step transition to 3GPP MCX broadband reduces risks and maintains familiar workflows. Smartphone and narrowband radio users can communicate together, make calls and send messages, while new multimedia capabilities are available for smartphone users.
