IT firms keen to launch Tetra systems

Representatives of Tetra System Polska and C2 Polska stated that they are ready to start working on the two systems in January. The technical issues of the zł.4 billion communication systems for public security and rescue services have been settled with the government. "We have completed our preparations and we can now begin working on the project," stated Jacek Piotrowski, the director of Tetra Polska. "Now the ball is in the government's ballpark," he added. The companies hope that the government, which is currently conducting the financial and business analysis of the projects, will be ready to sign the contracts with them during the next few months. Tetra is to be built by a consortium of Motorola, Prokom, ComputerLand and Tel-Energo, while the C2 system is being worked on by Prokom and ComputerLand. Both projects are a part of the offset program and are to bring substantial savings for the budget and improve the functioning of the police and the army. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6; Parkiet, p. 3) E.B.
