It took just over two months for Finmeccanica to supply and implement a TETRA system to Aeroporti di Roma (ADR). The system will provide secure and reliable communications for the Fiumicino – Leonardo da Vinci International Airport's professional operators. The system is now fully operational, following successful testing. The agreement includes an option to extend the service to the G.B. Pastine airport in Rome Ciampino.
The new system supports information exchange between users in different airport sectors, making it easier to coordinate operations. The TETRA technology ensures that communications between airport ground staff are secure and reliable. Radio coverage is provided both inside and outside buildings across the whole airport area.
The system infrastructure is based on Finmeccanica’s Perseus CSP platform and advanced radio base stations, which allow for the integration of a number of different types of communications technologies. The project includes an operations room, used for managing emergencies and recording calls, together with fixed radio stations and mobile TETRA radio terminals. Finmeccanica designed, supplied and installed the system and provides 24 hour technical support via a help desk and maintenance services.
Finmeccanica communication solutions are used in over 50 countries. They are regularly deployed for the protection of critical infrastructure, to support police operations and in the management of large events. The company recently signed an contract with the Italian Ministry of the Interior as part of the TETRA PIT Programme (Programma Interpolizie TETRA). As part of this, Finmeccanica will implement a mission-critical national mobile radio service for Italy’s police forces, providing secure communications.
