The Airbus Defence and Space subsidiary Secure Land Communications (SLC) has awarded 16 employees from different channel partners with an official accreditation certificate "Accredited Partner TETRA Radios", after they completed tests to judge their expertise on the Airbus DS PMR TETRA terminal portfolio.
The accreditation has had its level of difficulty raised to improve standards of technical self-sufficiency and up-to-date competence about PMR products from Airbus Defence and Space. It will require a tested yearly refresher course to maintain. Staff members employed by the channel partners were honoured in the framework of the exhibition Critical Communication World 2016 in Amsterdam (pictured).
“I have great pleasure in announcing this first tranche of channel partners who have met the technical prerequisites and now are awarded our Accredited Partner TETRA Radios,” explained Stuart Will, director of channel management of SLC at Airbus DS. “Our channel partners will be able to show they have resources with this level of expertise, and will be able to display the new accreditation logo from Airbus Defence and Space, giving their customers confidence that they will be served by qualified professionals.”
“All our ‘top tier’ Airbus Defence and Space channel partners will achieve accredited status as a new baseline in technical competence over the coming months,” said Marc Prieur, head of care and field support at SLC, Airbus DS.
