Professional Communication Corporation - Nedaa, the sole and largest TETRA operator in Dubai, proudly teamed up with Hytera Communications, a world's leading professional mobile radio communications solution provider, which offered reliable and smooth communications support to the grand cycling event, Dubai Tour 2015, which kicked off on 4 February and is to end on 7 February.

The inaugural Dubai Tour was held in 2014, and the race expanded and hosted 16 World Tour teams in 2015. From the very beginning, Nedaa was officially chosen as the communications solution provider by the organising committee for its excellence in technical planning and service.

For the second Dubai Tour, Nedaa integrated Z1p, Hytera's latest handheld TETRA two-way radio, into its network, which offers full coverage of the four tracks measuring nearly 700km in total. Hytera Z1p was developed in complete correspondence with the open ETSI standard TETRA. Its military-standard ruggedness and public-safety level functionalities come with an ultra-slim full-keypad body as thin as 23mm. The site survey executed by Nedaa shows its system and Hytera Z1p synergise very well in skyscraper-crowded downtown, open terrain and hills.

During the Tour, the radios were intensely used by the staff from the organiser and Dubai Sports Council to ensure smooth collaboration among different work groups. Nedaa's network also offered cross-department communication to the police and other institutions. "Nedaa is very proud to be the official communications provider for such a powerful event. Hytera Z1p TETRA radios are well designed for mission-critical communication during events like Dubai Tour in terms of both functionality and usability. It has great potential of serving our customers. We look to provide services according to the highest international standards and the best practices in the field of public safety and telecommunications security in order for Dubai to rank among the most prominent countries in the world in this field," commented Mansoor Bu Osaiba, Deputy Chief Executive Director of Nedaa.
