BOS fixed-line strategy and planning in the context of IP migration in the BOS digital radio network
Migration of the BOS digital radio system to a broadband radio network
The migration of the BOS digital radio system to a broadband radio network involves transitioning all network layers of the access network for the TETRA base stations to an IP-enabled broadband platform. quattron supports this process by providing expert strategic advice, network planning and guidance on the implementation of this network migration.
For almost two decades now, quattron has been supporting the roll-out and operation of the BOS digital radio network in Germany in the roles of consultant, expert and project manager. The company’s teams are responsible for managing the roll-out of around a quarter of the nationwide network and have been providing continuous support to the authorised state authorities over many years with regard to network operation and fixed-line connectivity.
Furthermore, the development of strategies to increase the sovereignty of the internal administration towards industry and mobile network operators is being driven forward. An integral part of this is the negotiation and management of contracts and being responsible for equipping properties with BOS digital radio
