English
On May 9th, the 2022 Philippine presidential election saw over 60 million voters across the country, making public safety and election security paramount. To support the Philippine National Police (PNP) in maintaining order during this critical event, Inrico provided a cutting-edge communication solution, ensuring seamless coordination and quick responses across vast urban and rural areas.
Challenge
The PNP faced significant communication challenges during the election, particularly in managing mobile forces spread across large areas. Traditional two-way radios had limited coverage, hindering effective coordination between security personnel in diverse locations, from polling precincts to rural zones. The need for a communication system that was easy to deploy, manage, and capable of supporting real-time coordination was crucial to ensuring public safety and security.
Solution
Inrico delivered a tailored Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solution that addressed the PNP’s operational needs. The system included Inrico’s T529A PoC radios, a PTT application, and a robust dispatch console, seamlessly integrated with Inrico's PoC communications system. The T529A PoC radios leverage 3G/4G/Wi-Fi networks, allowing for instant communication over long distances, bypassing the limitations of traditional radios.

The radios supported multimedia communications, precise GPS tracking, and efficient dispatching, all of which were essential for managing field operations. Commanders could dynamically allocate resources and coordinate mobile units in real-time, ensuring prompt responses to emerging situations.

Inrico’s PoC solution also benefited from the global partnership with iConvNet, which provided a versatile dispatch platform that ensured centralized control and real-time visibility. This platform enabled efficient coordination across multiple agencies and supported emergency dispatches, helping streamline operations and improving the overall response time.
The deployment of Inrico’s PoC system for the Philippine National Police was a success, praised by the Cavite City police for its reliability, ease of use, and advanced features. The collaboration between Inrico and iConvNet, while seamless, demonstrated Inrico's ability to deliver scalable, reliable communication solutions in critical operational environments. With its proven expertise, Inrico continues to support public safety operations worldwide, offering innovative communication technologies that enhance security and operational efficiency.
