南澳大利亚国家消防局(CFS)通过为外商大都市,区域和农村南澳大利亚提供专业火灾和救援服务,为社区提供服务。
全国各州有13,500名志愿者经营425大旅,其中一支超过850多辆消防车。当地旅,有助于脱离地区部署,以协助邻近的社区,到国家其他地方的社区,以及所需的州际公路。
The CFS attends around 8,000 incidents each year, including:
It has been over a decade since the CFS upgraded their radio equipment. In addition to upgrading from analogue to the latest P25 technology, the CFS identified major benefits to be gained by utilising GPS to improve efficiency of operations and firefighter safety. A technology upgrade would also improve the ability to work with interstate fire services.
遵循竞争招标过程后,选择达党伙伴Tetracom被选为主要承包商,以升级南澳大利亚的每一场CFS旅TP9400便携式和TM9400移动收音机. Tetracom's $7million contract with the CFS includes more than 4,000 radios, Tait training services, Tait EnableProtect programming security, and Service Advantage with 5 year warranty.
GPS技术将用于提高效率,并协助找到启动紧急呼叫的消防员。当CFS在密集的烟雾环境中工作时,这是至关重要的,因为它提高了所有消防员的安全性。升级还将允许新的无线电网络与州际消防服务兼容。互操作性将使志愿者从州际公路中使用他们现有的无线电在火灾地面上而不是使用贷款无线电,与最近的桑普森平丛丛中的情况一样。
Tetracom's experience gained through dealing with the Emergency Services in South Australia over the past 20 years played a significant part in winning this tender. "It is good to see the South Australian Government awarding contracts such as this to a South Australian company as this keeps employment and investment within the state." said Jeff Perry, Managing Director of Tetracom.
设备设备和升级将于2015年6月开始。据估计,该过程最多需要3年才能完成,合同包括5年的维护协议。
