NICE Systems has announced that NICE Inform, an incident information management solution for public safety organizations, has successfully completed integration testing for Motorola's Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) DIMETRA IP release 7.

 

Thanks to the integration of NICE Inform with the new DIMETRA release, police, fire and ambulance services personnel now have an IP-based solution for the recording, playback and storage of end-to-end encrypted public safety radio calls.

 

Since it can be deployed right at the heart of the TETRA network, NICE Inform offers public safety professionals the assurances they need for the security and reliability of their communications storage and retrieval, said NICE officials.

 

NICE Inform is a full-spectrum multimedia incident information management solution for the security market. The solution's implementation with Motorola's (News - Alert) Dimetra IP 7.0 allows the encrypted radio traffic to be recorded and stored, giving total end-to-end encryption.

 

Stephen Benwell, general manager for public safety at NICE said that with this solution Motorola has the option to offer NICE Inform pre-integrated as a part of the TETRA network to offer essential public services the assurances they need for security and reliability in their communications' storage and retrieval.

 

Noting that Motorola has sold hundreds of integrated NICE recording solutions worldwide, Benwell said that this addition to the portfolio represents another "milestone" in the close collaboration between the two companies dating from 2001.

 

NICE is a provider of intent-based solutions that enable enterprises and security organizations to extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety.

 

Earlier this month, the company and Esri, a provider of geographical information system (GIS) software, entered into an OEM agreement to enhance NICE Situator with Esri's GIS capabilities, for enhanced situation management.
