According to a statement, the company will be responsible for the installation and commissioning of all system components. This includes Frequentis’ own 3020 LifeX communication system, as well an operations control system from T-Systems Information Services, and the IT and network infrastructure provided by Siemens AG.
Discussing the contract, a spokesperson said: “With the integrated operations and control centre system, the Thuringian police will be provided with a state-wide standardised and future-oriented solution for emergency call handling and managing police operations in daily service and special situations.
“The integrated communications system is already prepared for the connection to the future nationwide broadband digital radio system for authorities and organisations with security tasks.”
Vice president at the Thuringian state police directorate, Thomas Quittenbaum, said: “By awarding this contract, we have reached an important milestone in the implementation of the Thuringian police's digitalisation concept.
“We are now taking a major step towards modern, future-proof control centre technology. The new system will further optimise our operational coordination and thus ensure the improved safety of the citizens of Thuringia.”
According to Frequentis, over half of police organisations in German federal states use its technology.
