General information
For the provincial civil protection system, the availability of an effective warning system plays a fundamental role. In this regard, over the past few years, the Province has implemented measures to activate a digital radio-communications system throughout the entire provincial territory, using TETRA technology, which currently consists of 86 diffusion sites and 112 sites over which the backbone transits, mainly by microwave and, where possible, also with fibre optic connections. Outdoor coverage currently exceeds 85% of the territory and the number of equipment distributed to the various parties is approximately 8,500.
Goals
The primary objective of the radio network upgrade is to create an integrated and unified system of telecommunications radio networks for monitoring and managing, in particular, events at the service of the Civil Protection, emergency health and public safety structures.
The upgrading of infrastructures enables the improvement of the coverage and potential of the TETRA network, both for outdoor and indoor communications.
Alongside these activities, during the summer of 2022, the last 700 TETRA radios were distributed to the volunteer fire brigades, completing the supply of all the facilities in the area, while the first 200 pagers, which use more modern and effective technology than the devices currently in use, are being delivered to a medium-sized pilot district. Delivery of the pagers will be completed by 2023.
