In the event of an emergency, the police, fire brigade and medical services must be able to communicate quickly and reliably with each other. The federal government and cantons use the Polycom network for this. Still. This should end by 2030. By then they should have their own secure network for communications.
The Federal Council announced on Friday that emergency services must be able to communicate mobilely in daily life and during crises and exchange large amounts of data such as images and videos. The network must also work when normal mobile networks are overloaded or broken, for example after a disaster, a cyber attack or a terrorist attack.
Polycom will be replaced from 2030
The new mobile security communications system (MSK) is intended to leverage the infrastructure of commercial telecommunications providers and supplement them with elements such as emergency power supplies. It is expected to replace Polycom from 2030. It is still unclear whether the Federal Office for Civil Protection (BABS) or the cantons should take the lead. The consultation template should be available by mid-2024.
Polycom’s security radio network was outdated and unstable, experts sounded the alarm a year ago. The Federal Office for Civil Protection (Babs) tried to save the radio network over time with more than 300 million francs for updates and improvements, the “NZZ am Sonntag” reported. After all: in October of this year Babs announced that it had realized half of the value retention. This means that we are ‘well on track’ to complete the renovation by the end of 2025.
