Tasmanian state agencies transition to Telstra and Motorola Solutions’ communications network

Minister for police, fire, and emergency management Felix Ellis has announced that eight Tasmanian state response agencies will be transitioning to new emergency services communications network provided by Telstra and Motorola Solutions.

Ellis said the agencies will also transition to the Tasmanian Government Radio Network (TasGRN) commencing in July.

Ellis said the transition to the new network will start with Hydro Tasmania, TasNetworks, Parks and Wildlife and Sustainable Timber Tasmania by August.

The police, fire and emergency services will then follow.

“The TasGRN project has created up to 50 jobs during the three-year construction phase, with additional positions to be recruited to help run and oversee the network once it is fully operational later this year,” Ellis said.

How the TasGRN will facilitate better communications
Ellis emphasised that first responders need the best communication tools to save lives.

“Our emergency service workers have highlighted the need for reliable, interoperability in radio communications to support effective responses to emergency situations.”

“As an added bonus, the TasGRN will deliver improved mobile phone coverage for Telstra users in Tasmania at no cost to the State, particularly in regional Tasmania.”

The Rockliff Liberal Government and its partner agencies have invested a total of $763 million to establish TasGRN.

“This new network will provide greater interoperability, increased coverage, secure, encrypted communications for our emergency service workers, and will deliver a modern user interface,” Ellis said.

“We’re doing this because when our firefighters or police officers are responding to emergency incidents they deserve to have high performing communications equipment to support their safety and the safety of the community.”
