Tags: Science and Technology State News

Delhi Police is set to design, install and supply the ‘Open Standard Digital Trunking Radio System’ (OS-DTRS) and will phase out the current tetranet wireless network services. 

About Rs 100 crore will be spent on this project, for which tenders were issued on 2 December.

About OS-DTRS System

• It will be a more efficient internal communication system, aimed at a faster exchange of information and bigger networks. 

• This system provides multiple channels and common groups for policemen. 

• It will also have a voice logger system, which can be used to describe a crime scene, interrogation details and evidence. 

• The project’s master site will be at the Delhi Police Head Quarters. 

• Police are looking for private companies to run the system on 800 MHz frequency band and microwave links.

• The master site will have OS-DTRS control and switching equipment, a network management system, 90 IP-based logger systems and a large LED display.

• Around 15,000 concurrent radio sets will be made first and later expanded to 30,000 over time. 

• This system will run for at least 10 years and will fix network problems faced by police personnel.
