Motorola will supply the advanced handheld TETRA radio devices, the MTP850 and MTM800E.The rugged terminals and mobiles have a similar interface to a mobile phone and the Cheshire Force will be able to get up and running straight away with a whole host of advanced communication methods safe in the knowledge that the Motorola technology is tried, tested and ultra reliable.
These reliable and field proven devices have been specifically designed to meet the demands of front line police officers. They combine an uncompromising mix of safety features, smart ergonomics and robust design. Both terminals feature fully integrated voice and data services.
“We are delighted to have been awarded the contract to supply Cheshire Constabulary with our TETRA solutions. Cheshire will join a number of other UK forces, including Northumbria, Merseyside, Cumbria and Lancashire in selecting our technology,” said Manuel Torres, vice president and general manager, Government Business, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions, EMEA. “This contract demonstrates our continued leadership in the market and showcases our commitment to understanding customer requirements.

Motorola has already supplied similar systems to Norfolk Constabulary and Northumbria Police as well as other UK forces.
“We selected Motorola after a rigorous tendering and user evaluation process. Motorola was able to demonstrate the reliability and robustness of their terminals as well as compliance to current TETRA standards. The Integrated Terminal Management Solution, for example, allows us to remotely manage our entire fleet,” says Mike Walker, Airwave Manager for Cheshire Constabulary. “It offers significant time and costs savings, and ensures front line police officers always have the most up to date and appropriately configured radio.”
