Sepura CommsTech protects Brazil-Bolivia border with communications solution
The Brazilian state of Mato Grosso has deployed a multi-agency communications solution using Sepura ’ s SC20 TETRA radios to support security operations on the border with neighbouring Bolivia .
The solution is an extension of the TETRA network currently in operation in the Brazilian state , built on infrastructure provided by Teltronic . The Sepura SC20 radios interact with Teltronic ’ s control center solution , CeCoCo NG , ensuring that operations can be seamlessly co-ordinated and information shared between the various operational teams .
The SC20 provides users with a powerful TETRA communication device – with loud , clear audio and a robust design to withstand repeated rough treatment in tough environments . The SC20 also benefits from advanced connectivity options , allowing links to data sources and improving the situational awareness of both control room staff and field officers .
Terence Ledger , Worldwide Sales Director , Sepura , said : “ The SC20 is a trusted device for public safety officers around the world . We have seen many organizations adopt the radio to maintain the advantage of TETRA networks and benefit from market leading tough , powerful radio . We are delighted to support police in Mato Grosso state and
throughout Brazil with their operations and working with them to extend their communication solutions in the future .”
Entel pilots traffic control cameras with AI connected to 5G
Entel , the state-owned telecommunications company headquartered in Bolivia , has piloted an automatic traffic monitoring trial in Chile , utilising 5G wireless connectivity and AI .
The pilot sought to leverage the 5G network , AI and Edge Computing with the aim of analyzing in real-time the flow of traffic , occurrences of traffic accidents , as well as the number of pedestrians and cyclists .
This will allow the government to improve its planning and decision-making in matters of traffic and mobility .
Gloria Hutt , Minister of Transport and Telecommunications in Chile , said : “ Traffic management is key for the mobility of people in cities and the implementation of technological solutions that will help us make travel more efficient , shortening travel times and facilitating the movement of pedestrians and cycle-users .
“ In addition , through the deployment of the 5G network , we will be able to wirelessly enable and interconnect traffic control cameras and traffic lights .”
Pamela Gidi , the Undersecretary of Telecommunications in Chile , said : “ Not only will transport see these changes , but other daily aspects of cities will also be modified , evolving towards a model of Smart Cities .
“ 5G technology will facilitate a massive deployment of sensors that will allow realtime monitoring of different services such as transportation , public safety and cleaning , improving the quality of life of our citizens .”
