Ericsson Nikola Tesla modernizes operational and communication centers of the Ministry of Interior

Ericsson Nikola Tesla delivered to the Ministry of Interior operational and communication equipment, based on Coordcom solution for assistance in emergency situations. The solution enables integration of call reception and information from other systems, such as Ministry’s video cameras and locations of the patrols in the field. With this, operations officers on duty will more easily coordinate and manage reports from the field, and time necessary for analysis of the situation and decision on the use of police forces in a particular situation will be minimized.
