The solution, installed on-board a special vehicle, is equipped with a complete operational control room which integrates advanced technologies. These include a multi-technology mission-critical radio system for secure and reliable voice and data communications and video surveillance. Meanwhile, the company’s MCPTT (Mission Critical Push To Talk) application for Android mobile devices will ensure interoperability between operators monitoring the strategic points along the race route by converting android devices into Professional Mobile Radios (PMR).
As experts in protecting critical infrastructure, Leonardo has provided high-tech security for a number of major events including the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, EXPO 2015 and the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games.
