The current system configuration is:‐ 4 repeater sites, all IP-connected; 3 sites, each of them with 3 repeaters, are located in Sofia itself, and the 4th is in Tsarevo, a major city located 450 km from Sofia. The total number of mobile and portable radios working on the system is more than 120pcs.

They had been looking for a proper solution for their voice communication system requirements for some time. Their high specification requirements included:‐

• Excellent coverage
• Secure connection without any interruptions and information leaks
• IP Connectivity between remote sites
• Frequency efficiency
• Easy maintenance and management of the system
• Potential to upgrade and reconfigure the system parameters

They found that the NEXEDGE system fitted all their requirements and, compared to their existing system, it had all the advantages they were looking for.

Future expansion – the next step will be to add 3 more sites to the system, located in different cities of Bulgaria and to link them via IP connectivity to the Sofia main monitoring centre.
