Braving the snow
Typically, winter on the Anatolian plateau is especially severe. Konya struggled with heavy snow fall at the beginning of 2015. In order to deliver the installation on time, Hytera and their local partner braved the snow and built a dozen antenna towers and plant rooms under snow-covered mountains.
Due to the scattered networks, and even no network link devices in some areas, the original infrastructure of Konya province is extremely limited. However, given the growing population and municipal development, Konya council hopes to build a professional and reliable network. They wanted this network to have a full signal coverage in every part of the province, in order to eventually achieve interconnection and full dispatching within the province.
“Mission-critical communication was getting more important in parallel with the rapid development of Konya Province. Therefore we were supposed to take a critical decision to enhance our communication network and the Hytera DMR Trunking system has offered a complete solution for us.”

Connected, everywhere
Briefed with a full understanding of the customer's requirements for future expansion, the Hytera team and Nevada Elektronik, a valuable partner of Hytera in Turkey, proposed the turnkey solution of a Hytera DMR trunking lite system to Konya city council.
750 PD78XG portable terminals, 400 MD78XG mobile terminals and 15 DS-6211 trunking base stations were deployed across different departments of 31 districts such as government offices, firefighting bureaus, emergency medical services centres, and urban management offices etc.
The first DMR trunking system deployed in Turkey ensured full coverage and connectivity for Konya.
