The province of San Luis in Argentina is implementing a Motorola Solutions mission-critical radio communications system for its Provincial Police.

The Tetra system will expand coverage and enable new capabilities for first responders to help protect communities across the province.

Unified for faster response

“This new Tetra system represents a decisive step forward in our commitment to enhancing community safety and security," said Javier Salomón, director of technology and security, San Luis.

"Our previous analog system’s limited coverage hindered emergency services communication. The new Motorola Solutions system expands coverage and enables interoperability between our nine police departments across the province to support real-time collaboration, shorter response times and greater operational efficiency."

Strengthening regional security

The first phase of the system expansion will extend coverage to San Luis, Villa Mercedes and MerloThe Tetra radio technology is also used by the province of Santa Fe and will additionally interoperate with systems in the neighboring provinces of Córdoba and San Juan to facilitate robust coordination between police forces and swift, unified responses to national security threats.

The first phase of the system expansion will extend coverage to San Luis, Villa Mercedes and Merlo while also introducing critical new capabilities. Group calling will enhance inter-city coordination, and geolocation will allow the Provincial Police to more precisely locate and direct field-based agents, improving response times and operational efficiency.

Connected for safety

“The province of San Luis spans nearly 77,000 square kilometers across mountains, deserts and lakes, which presents unique considerations when it comes to voice communications for emergency services,” said Elton Borgonovo, MSSSI vice president, Latin America and Caribbean Region, Motorola Solutions. 

“The deployment of our new Tetra system will help to keep first responders connected across this diverse terrain so they can better serve every corner of the province.”
