Jean-Marc Nasr, chief executive officer of European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) Secure Networks, said at a press conference here Wednesday that the reliability of PMR with the terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) standard was fully proved duringthe just ended annual sessions of both the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

"Our TETRA provides reliable service to professional mobile radio users in some key governmental organs in Beijing," Nasr said.

"We plan to expand our TETRA business in police and public transit transport systems," he said.

Combining traits of both walkie-talkie and mobile phones, traffic and patrol police as well as customs officers could be equipped with TETRA professional mobile radios.

Nasr said, "We hope we could supply our systems and terminals for the 2008 Beijing Olympics."

EADS Secure Networks was created following a major deal that saw EADS buying Nokia's PMR business.

The addition of Nokia's TETRA business means that EADS has morethan 130 PMR customers in 56 countries.
