Client Objectives
Our client needed to appoint a consultancy to assist them project manage the procurement, development, integration and commissioning of a national secure Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) network. The client wanted to ensure that agencies and users received a quality and robust service, and that capital and operating costs would be recoverable. Furthermore, it was essential to establish a strong strategy and business plan, as well as repeatable systems and procedures.

Boartes assembled a diverse project team including subject matter experts in system integration, radio system design, network infrastructure, dispatching and terminal equipment, fleetmapping, testing and acceptance, procurement, training, and project management. The team reported to the Boartes Project Manager to ensure progress vis-à-vis the master control schedule. The PMBOK methodology was tailored and implemented for this client to ensure best fit-for-purpose.
