Airbus to upgrade Bordeaux TETRA

The TETRA secure radio network of the metropolitan area in Bordeaux is being upgraded by Airbus and its partner, Telpass.

By upgrading to Airbus DXT3 switches, Metropolitan Bordeaux is adding an additional security level to its network, which will now have a geo-redundancy system.

The network’s improvement will also optimise maintenance costs. It consists of 15 base stations and it routes a total of around five million messages per day, making it very powerful.

Metropolitan Bordeaux has used TETRA for more than 10 years. The network is connected to applications primarily involving the exchange of data. These applications are essential for the operation of the metropolitan area’s network. Among other things, they update the displays of available spaces in car parks and support the performance of the transport system, which serves 28 municipalities.
