Motorola (MSI) Boosts NSW Collaboration With Contract Renewal

Motorola Solutions, Inc. MSI has inked a five-year contract extension with New South Wales Telecommunications Authority to enhance the development of its Public Safety Network (PSN). The reliability of voice and data communication, which will enable first responders across the state to always be connected, will be enabled by the AUD $60 million ($41.9 million) contract.

Motorola’s suite of public safety services can be successfully used by the PSN, as it comprises public safety services, which encompass network lifecycle upgrades alongside 24x7 cybersecurity. It also helps keep the critical technology used in missions up-to-date and secure, and enables seamless performance.

NSW Telco Authority considers PSN the most vital and crucial communications network in New South Wales, closest to Australia’s triple-zone emergency hotline. The network has provided New South Wales agencies with important communication during various situations of emergency, such as providing rescue and emergency efforts during the latest devastating floods, the Black Summer bushfires of 2019/20 and other natural calamities. With a wide span of 324,000 square kilometers, it is one of the largest emergency communication networks in the world. Therefore, its enhancement is a vital responsibility bestowed onto Motorola.
