Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:MSI) recently communicated that Aena, a state-owned company that manages airports and heliports in Spain, will implement its new DIMETRA X Core TETRA digital radio system and more than 1,600 TETRA radio terminals. The state-of-the-art digital radio technology is planned to be deployed at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, starting from 2020. Financial terms of the deal remained undisclosed.

The mission-critical communication solutions provider has a long-standing experience in providing reliable TETRA radio systems to airports globally.

The communication systems are also deployed across the Mediterranean airports of Aktion, Chania, Kavala, Corfu, Kos, Mytilene, Mykonos, Rhodes, Samos, Santorini, Skiathos, Thessaloniki and Zakynthos.

In Germany, the company has equipped airports such as Leipzig/Halle, Stuttgart and Baden-Airpark with its technology. Reportedly, its DIMETRA X Core technology is an ideal solution for expanding existing TETRA infrastructure at crucial hubs and transfer points like airports. With a software-defined core, enhanced cyber security and smart interfaces, DIMETRA X Core is built for long-term performance.
