Tait completes upgrade to Vic Gov't trunked radio net

Business IT - Networking

Mobile radio communications company, Tait Electronics, has completed an $18 million upgrade of the Victorian StateNet Mobile Radio network under subcontract to Telstra.


Tait Electronics was responsible for providing Telstra with network switching and radio technologies as part of Telstra's contract extension to replace Victoria's trunked radio network. According to Tait, the contract was one of the largest infrastructure projects managed by Telstra last year. The network 101 sites, has 500 channels and four switch nodes and supports more than 17,000 terminals. It remains an analogue network.

Tait claims that the upgraded StateNet Mobile Radio network offers increased functionality and greater security and provides improved voice quality and channel capacity which can be leveraged by the Victorian State Government for events such as the upcoming 2006 Commonwealth Games. T
