See how Remotatec technology helped the Military Police of Paraná to modernize its communications, integrating the entire metropolitan region of Curitiba.
The Institution
The Military Police of Paraná (PMPR) is a reference in public security and social defense in Brazil. The excellence of the institution owes much to the use of technology that assists in its missions, such as the preservation of public order and ostensible policing.
The Challenge
The Military Police of Paraná had communication limitations with the metropolitan region of Curitiba. The COPOM, located in the capital city, was limited to answering radio communication calls only via RF through its tower located in the Operations Center. This limitation was evident in cities such as Tijucas do Sul, Adrianópolis, Cerro Azul and Paranaguá, which did not communicate with COPOM and were unable to receive operational support.
The Solution
To solve the communication problem, Remotatec implemented a subsystem of IP dispatch consoles, integrating the radio communication of the entire metropolitan region of Curitiba. The new system is composed of 35 Pharos dispatch consoles, redundancy servers, recording systems, and integration with third party GPS and AVL. Interoperability gateways were installed allowing the Military Police of Paraná to perform communication, identification and georeferencing of each radio device.
To receive all this technology, a new infrastructure was created in partnership with the company DRJ Radiocomunicação. An uninterruptible power supply, also known as UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), was installed in order to provide energy and allow the continuity of services.
The Benefits
Today, with the new system installed, the Military Police can communicate with the entire metropolitan region of Curitiba, giving agility to the service and enabling the execution of coordinated operations. Besides the integration of communication, the Remotatec technology allowed the geographical identification of the radios, helping in the planning and decision making in a fast and intelligent way.
Another major benefit is the backing of recordings of all communications, providing reliability for the citizen and the public security agent.
