Motorola Delivers One Millionth TETRA Terminal

Schaumburg, Illinois-headquartered Motorola Inc reached the milestone of delivering one million TETRA terminals recently, when the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) picked up a terminal for internal deployment. Considering that the 200,000th terminal was delivered to the Surrey Police as late as in November 2003, this milestone has come at a very rapid clip.

The company has received an order from the JAF for supply of TETRA portable devices such as MTH800 terminals, MTM800 Enhanced mobiles and CM5000 TETRA Gateway repeaters. These devices are to be used for security coverage across the length and breadth of the country. The CM5000 DMO Gateway / Repeater is used for radio communications where coverage is compromised such as inside buildings, underground locations, etc. The MTM800 control head is a rugged mobile that is resistant to dust and water and handy for policemen on motorcycles. The MTH800 is a GPS receiver that helps personnel in pinpointing and coordinating locations.

Motorola’s TETRA radios were very much visible during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where over 60,000 of these devices were put in force by the organizers to maintain communication between the ground-personnel. The company’s security-centric communications products are now in use in over 85 countries.
