HOBART, 9 September 2024 – The Tasmanian Government Radio Network (TasGRN) used by the state’s public safety agencies and essential services personnel has won a prestigious, national iAward at the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) 2024 awards.
TasGRN was recognised in the Technology Platform Solution category of the awards for successfully providing enhanced digital communication and vastly improved radio network coverage for Tasmania’s public safety and essential services personnel throughout the state.
Telstra and Motorola Solutions provide Tasmania’s emergency responders and government organisations with a highly advanced, state-wide mission critical communications network to effectively respond to emergencies.
The innovative network is built on a feature-rich technology platform to provide a variety of additional capabilities for today and the future. These include broadband push-to-talk services enabling seamless communication between radios, smartphones and other devices as well as enhanced integration between existing communication centres’ operating systems and Motorola Solutions’ consoles.
“TasGRN enables Tasmania’s emergency services to manage increasingly complex operational requirements – from combating natural disasters, to dealing with the evolving security landscape and beyond,” said Con Balaskas, vice president Motorola Solutions Australia and New Zealand.
“In addition to instant and interoperable communications across multiple government organisations, the network’s managed services help keep all of TasGRN’s critical technology, infrastructure, features and security up to date.”
