By GlobalDataMotorola Solutions international sales and services senior vice-president Mark Schmidl said: “Successful naval operations depend on planning, precision and trusted communications that are purposefully designed and proven to perform in these kinds of mission-critical operations.
“We’re proud to extend our ongoing partnership with the German Armed Forces and we look forward to supporting the security, safety and success of the German Navy’s missions.”
Furthermore, the new TETRA digital radio system will be interoperable with the communications networks of the German Armed Forces.
