EU FEDER funding for the southern Spanish region of Andalusia enabled SANDETEL to purchase HTZ Communications to update their public safety networks.
In a drive to improve critical communications, local agent SANDETEL, who manages public networks across the region, will use HTZ Communications to support Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) network planning and optimisation. Initially, they will assess network coverage across the region by importing the existing network and drive test measures, identifying not-spots and analysing DMR coverage on a surface area and point-to-point basis. Later, HTZ will be used to expand and optimise these networks by leveraging the automated frequency assignment function. The team will analyse and mitigate the impact of network interference.
DMR is the chosen technology for many emergency service providers in the region, covering fire, police, ambulance and other key services.
SANDETEL is an Andalusian Regional Government-owned company that develops and improves the telecommunications and information technology infrastructure of the region. It enhances digital connectivity, promotes technological innovation and improves public services through advanced telecommunications and IT solutions.
