"Motorola Solutions has been awarded a $40 million, five-year contract to supplement Western Australia’s emergency services radio communications under a shared, purpose-built secure network.

The new network forms part of a three-part project tender that was issued by the Western Australian Government earlier this year. The Community Safety Network project is fully funded under Western Australia’s Royalties for Regions program and will enable key state-based public safety agencies - the Western Australia Police (WAPOL), Department of Corrective Services (DCS) and Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) - to communicate across a single integrated and multijurisdictional network.

As part of the project, Motorola Solutions will provide more than 3250 new two-way radios for use across the three agencies, deploy 20 simulcast trunking sites and 180 P25 conventional sites, upgrade the existing Police Metropolitan Radio Network central core and extend the digital encrypted system technology across more than 200 radio sites state-wide".
