CHILE (From CET News) -- Motorola Solutions has announced a new managed services contract to implement a communications system for Chilean forestry company CMPC. The deployment will help streamline production processes and ensure reliable communications with the Brazilian subsidiary's operations in emergency situations. As a result, CMPC will achieve complete coverage throughout the forests in which it operates, as well as in all its trucks and cranes, said Motorola Solutions.

The contract will see Motorola Solutions implementing what it describes as a completely innovative managed services model, which for an initial period of 10 years will connect the communication systems of Brazil and Chile through a single, integrated network. The dispatch centre will be based in Chile and will enable the advanced connectivity of services and resources in key points of the two locations. In Brazil, the system will cover an area of around 53,000 square km along the State of Rio Grande do Sul through 12 repeater sites and a TETRA digital communication network supported by terminals, including mobile radios installed in vehicles used by workers.

Motorola Solutions also announced that it has expanded its managed services agreement with Chilean forestry company Forestal Mininco to include more radio frequency sites, applications, portable devices and two sites connected to the system via satellite links spanning an area over 70,000 square km.
