TasGRN was recognised in the Technology Platform Solution category of the awards for providing enhanced digital communication and vastly improved radio network coverage for Tasmania’s public safety and essential services personnel throughout the state.

Telstra and Motorola Solutions provide Tasmania’s emergency responders and government organisations with communications network to effectively respond to emergencies.

The network is built on a technology platform to provide a variety of additional capabilities for today and the future.

These include broadband push-to-talk services enabling communication between radios, smartphones, and other devices as well as integration between existing communication centres’ operating systems and Motorola Solutions’ consoles.

“TasGRN enables Tasmania’s emergency services to manage increasingly complex operational requirements – from combating natural disasters, to dealing with the evolving security landscape and beyond,” said Motorola Solutions Australia and New Zealand vice president Con Balaskas.

“In addition to instant and interoperable communications across multiple government organisations, the network's managed services help keep all of TasGRN’s critical technology, infrastructure, features, and security up to date.”
