Motorola Solutions has developed a two-way pager to enable firefighters to quickly alert colleagues if they need help during incidents.

The ADVISOR TPG2200 is a TETRA-based device which both sends out a signal, and lets personnel acknowledge that they’ve received the message and are responding to the call. According to Motorola, key functionalities include enhanced coverage via a fully-integrated antenna, as well as GPS capability to let control room staff see where users are located.

The device also includes ‘integrated terminal management’ (iTM) which enables the centralised management of the devices, while supporting the mass configuration of a large amount of terminals. This ensures that the devices can all be managed simultaniously, together with the users’ TETRA radios.

Speaking of the product, vice president of sales for Motorola Solutions in Europe, Middle East and Africa Mark Schmidl said: “With the ADVISOR TPG2200 we are reinforcing our commitment to developing mission critical solutions in close collaboration with our customers to meet the ever changing needs of first responders.

“The new pager has been developed together with one of our public safety customers and we plan to sell the device globally. It offers our customers a reliable, cost-efficient way to alert firefighters.”
