Vienna (pta008/15.02.2021/07:30 UTC+1) The Bavarian Police has successfully completed installation of the Frequentis LifeX multimedia communication platform, making it the first state-wide LifeX project for Frequentis Public Safety in the German market. The rollout to nine control centres includes a total of 255 radio and emergency call working positions. The Bavarian Police signed the acceptance in December 2020. This event marks an important milestone for Public Safety and the market launch of the Frequentis mission-critical communication platform LifeX.

The Bavarian Police is one of the largest police organisations in Germany, responsible for the public safety of 13 million people in the entire Free State of Bavaria. The Bavarian Police project started in 2014 and was therefore one of the very first projects for the Frequentis multimedia communication platform 3020 LifeX.

The system connects the existing police control centre communication channels and supports all users involved in emergency contact via digital radio. Over one million emergency calls per year can be processed in the integrated and intuitive solution. The key element of the delivered voice communication system is the Frequentis Public Safety platform 3020 LifeX, including digital radio connection (UTG), which interfaces to other communication systems used by the Bavarian Police.

"Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the project was completed on schedule in 2020. In a cooperative partnership, our project teams found a solution for all problems that arose," confirmed Anton Beierweck, Head of state-wide IT procedures at the Police Headquarters Upper Bavaria South.

The new software solution had its successful debut at the G7 summit in June 2015, when in its early development. The G7 system was also awarded the International Critical Communications Award (ICCA) in the Public Safety category in 2016. Gradually its functionality was expanded in new releases and the state-wide rollout took place. In December 2020, the last control centre was put into operation and the entire system was handed over to the Bavarian Police.

"We are very proud to have met the high demands of the Bavarian Police in terms of technology and services and appreciate the professional cooperation with the organisation, which ensures protection and safety in Bavaria at the highest level. The project serves as an essential reference for us, especially in the international environment," added Robert Nitsch, Frequentis Vice President Public Safety.
