HCL Infosystems announced the win of a prestigiousproject worth approximately Rs 100cr from the Delhi Government to establish  the countrys first exclusive Government Radio Network (GRN). This TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) communication network will facilitate swift and secure communication among various Government agencies like the Delhi Police, Fire Services, Hospitals, Public Works Department and the Delhi Transport Corporation during the Commonwealth Games and beyond. The project is a part of Delhi Governments vision, fueled by the will and commitment of the capitals premium agencies like the Delhi Police, leaving no stone unturned in providing Delhi a solid security net.
 
 
The deployment of the Government Radio Network based on TETRA will not only enhance our communication infrastructure but will also firmly place New Delhi amongst the leading cities of the world.  If the Asiad brought a shift from black&white television to colour television, the 2010

games will see the advent of TETRA, which will open a new chapter of secured and efficient communication between various government agencies. said   Savitur Prasad, Secretary, Information Technology, Delhi Government.
 
HCL Infosystems and Motorola will jointly collaborate with all Delhi Government departments to deploy a secure communication network for seamless inter-department communication. This network would cover the entire metropolitan area of the capital, including transportation networks such as Delhi Metro Railway Tunnels and New Delhi Airport Terminal-II. The GRN has been designed to minimise the reaction time in the toughest of situations, ensuring minimal call drops and encrypted communication to maintain the highest levels of security.
 
Commenting on the project, Ajai Chowdhry, Chairman & CEO, HCL Infosystems Ltd said, We are proud to be a part of the Delhi Governments movement to build a secure information network and congratulate backbone ins

titutions like the Delhi Police for their relentless efforts in providing the capital city with a state-of-theart security cover. HCL has always been committed towards nation building and in todays scenario; security has to be top priority.  The deployment of a TETRA-based communication system will enable authorities to timely prevent or minimise the chances of potential adverse impact in an emergency situation.  I am confident that, in times to come, systems such as the Government Radio Network will strengthen communication infrastructure across the country.
 
The GRN is an advanced digital inter-operable communication platform that will operate on a secured spectrum and will have 46 base stations. Communication on the GRN is encrypted to ensure security, and unlike other public communication infrastructure, this network is specially designed and built robustly to ensure failsafe performance even during emergencies. The GRN will help multiple agencies collaborate over a s

ingle platform to ensure well coordinated optimum response.  In the long run, the GRN will continue to offer options of scalability with easy expansion through additional radio terminal.
