PowerTrunk-25 Case Study Argentina Federal Police and National Guard
Argentina Public Safety Backgrounder Ministry of National Security has 4 Federal security forces PFA: Policia Federal Argentina (Federal Police) Selected PowerTrunk25 for Integrated Communications Units GNA: Gendarmeria Nacional Argentina (National Guard) Selected PowerTrunk25 for Mobile Command Units PNA: Prefectura Naval Argentina (Naval Command) Relied on a PowerTrunk P25 LMR system during the 20th Ibero- American Summit in December 2010. PSA: Policia de Seguridad Aeroportuaria (Ports and Airports)
Case Study: Argentina Federal Police (PFA) Key federal agency for public security throughout Argentina Currently responsible for security in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area (Capital Federal) Jurisdiction in complex crimes classified as federal crimes Coordinates and supports other security agencies throughout the country Responsible for special event security such as presidential summits for the MERCOSUR
Federal Police (PFA) Integrated Communications
Strategic requirements Strategic planning tool in fighting organized crime. Technical resource for the development of tactical public security operations at a federal level. Decision making information regarding the investigation of federal and complex crime. Support of intelligence for local public security agencies across the country. Coordination and control of resources assigned to special events. Maximize efficiency and effectiveness of security forces.
Funcionality requirements Group communications with a high level of encyption to ensure privacy. Interoperability with the different communications systems used by local agencies throughout the country. Dispatch and coordination of special forces. High reliability. Mobile situation room. Energy independence. Support for long term events.
Why PowerTrunk25 Interoperability is critical between P25 sites as well as the central switch in Buenos Aires (TETRA?) PowerTrunk was selected over the incumbent vendor (Motorola) primarily due to: Flexibility Interoperability Cecoco s integration with a E2E solution Native IP architecture Proved interoperability of the PowerTrunk 25 infrastructure with Harris, Motorola and Kenwood subscriber equipment
Integrated Communications Unit components PowerTrunk25 digital trunked system PowerTrunk Cecoco Data network Energy subsystem 85 Harris portables - P7150 5 Harris desktop stations - M7100 Sold and supported through our partner Daxa Argentina
Command and control center Cecoco RACK Operator positions PBX and Radio Interface RACK
System Advantages Interoperability with ALL mission critical communications systems nationwide. Integration and coordination. Increased operational efficiency and resource management. Reduces human resource requirements. Flexibility. Reliable support for special events such as presidential summits. Optimized management of mission critical events.
Case Study: Argentina National Guard (GNA) A militarized security force. Responsible for national highways and border patrol including drug traficking. Works in a particularly complex geographic rural area High level decisions are made in Buenos Aires which is why satellite communications and interoperability are of extreme importance.
Radio communications for MCU IVECO Model EUROCARGO 170 E22
Strategic requirements - MCU Tool to increase the operational efficiency in order to ensure public safety as per the objectives of the institution: Border control National highway Special strategic objectives Information to assist in the decision making especially in that which concerns the fight against drug traffic. Coordination and control of resources assigned to border control operations. Maximize efficiency, productivity and effectiveness of security forces.
Functionality requirements - MCU Fast deployment. Mobile situation room. Command and control center. Dispatch and coordination of special forces. Interoperability with different communications systems. Energy independence. Operational in extremely difficult geographic areas. High reliability and multiple options for interconnectivity to other systems.
Why PowerTrunk25 selected GNA is a long time customer of Siemens and Motorola. PowerTrunk25 primarily due to: Flexibility Interoperability Cecoco s integration with a E2E solution Native IP architecture PowerTrunk competed heavily against Tait for this project and we were awarded the project based on technical capabilities.
