The European major EADS Defence & Security has been selected by India to provide security solutions for the Indian Parliament in New Delhi. EADS will provide the TETRA radio network to provide the security for Indian Parliament.
EADS Defence and Security, through its line of business called Security & Communication Solutions, has teamed up with its local partner Sanchar Telesystems Limited to provide the TETRA network. TETRA is a state-of–the–art digital, encrypted communication system which will ensure voice and data communication, automatic vehicle and personal location and the capacity to connect to high speed data applications.
Mr. Sandeep Salunke, IPS, Director of Parliament Security indicated that the selection of the EADS TETRA system is based on a thorough process of technical evaluation. It has proved its performance superiority and meets the technical and operational requirements for securing the Indian Parliament. EADS TETRA has the capability to give secure technology for voice and data and offers interoperability between safety organizations in critical situations.
The ongoing beefing up of the Indian Parliament is a part of the Parliament Security contract of 2009 which entails investment in infrastructure and its dedication to the modernization of its security infrastructure. The digital communication system for the Indian Parliament has been on the Indian agenda after the terrorist attacks in November 2008.
This contract will be the second major EADS Defence & Security public safety and security TETRA venture in India. The first one was the 2008 TETRA radio network contract with the Andhra Pradesh Police which is already in operation. For EADS, this project is another challenge since Indian Parliament is situated in the heart of New Delhi which is the largest city by area. EADS Defence & Security is a world leader in providing mission-critical communication and command & control solutions through its integrated line of business Security & Communication Solutions (SCS).
