Border Security

Integrated communications all along the line

Security, reliability, robustness and complete integration of command and control are the watchwords when considering a communications system for border security. Nokia Siemens Networks portfolio supports both mobile and fixed communications for voice, data, video and other transmissions. With solutions for technical surveillance (sensors, CCTV), situational awareness (both network-wide and point-to-point), and command and control, all available data can be integrated to form a complete system for ensuring the integrity of borders.

Our networks support a wide range of technologies, including high-speed data, IP/Ethernet and others, coordinating distributed sites via microwave radio links, either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint.

A recent project with Saab in Sweden demonstrated Nokia Siemens Networks capabilities in security critical networks. Saab helped to deliver a nationwide security communication network for Sweden called RAKEL.

Operated by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), RAKEL is a TETRA network, providing radio communications to more than 10,000 users in organizations involved with public order, security and health. Nokia Siemens Networks Dynanet platform and FlexiHopper microwave radios were uses as the basis of the IP/SDH transport backbone.
