Airbus Defence and Space has launched its global SmarTWISP app developer programme.

Through the programme Airbus intends to create a new application ‘ecosystem’ for professional mobile radio (PMR) users. Features of the programme include information relating to training sales channels, logistical help, and marketing activities.

The focus of SmarTWISP is the company’s Tactilon Dabat product, which is a full TETRA radio built into a smartphone. The initiative also incorporates other radio communications solutions including the Tactilon Suite portfolio, and multimedia group communication system Tactilon Agnet.

Speaking of the programme, head of Airbus secure land communications Olivier Koczan said: “By leveraging developers’ ideas, we can better satisfy our customers’ demands. The new programme will also enable Tactilon Suite users to have the best apps.

“For instance, firefighters, police officers, rescue service workers and industry employees can improve the geolocalisation, object-recognition or mapping capabilities of their tools.”

One recent application developed for the Tactilon Dabat enables the sharing of public safety information, including videos and photos, in real time.
