Mission-Critical TETRA:
Uncompromising Communication

TETRA offers a comprehensive solution for organisations seeking
reliable, secure, and interoperable communication for mission-critical operations.

Mission critical TETRA:
Expertly designed
to be fully flexible

With one press of a button, users can establish voice communication, almost instantaneously with an individual or a group.

Entropia’s TETRA system of 400+ masts cover an area of over 72.000+ Km2 on shore across Flanders, Brussels and nationwide across the Netherlands, with 15.000+ Km2 of Belgium coastal & offshore coverage. Our systems is designed for mission critical applications, offering excellent coverage and availability. Calls and data are encrypted meaning that conversations cannot be tapped into by unauthorised personnel and its technology also filters out noise. To keep all key figures up to date with crucial information, and alerted to an incident, various discussion groups can be created within your own fleet - these talk-groups work independently of one another, as such they cannot disturb or hear each other, although a user can listen to several talk-groups at once if required.


Our solution allows users to access emergency features instantly. The two-way radios have an emergency call function which can be triggered in a push of a button.

This function can open a pre-determined talk-group, send messages or activate a silent alarm – the function depends on the user’s specific needs. In addition, different priority levels can be programmed for each talk-group. This allows members of a group with a higher priority level to interrupt an ongoing call to report a time critical message. In combination with our ComBus software the location of the radios can be displayed on a central screen in real-time.


When responding to a serious incident it’s vital that mission critical call recording is available so there is an accurate account of who said what and when.

Our system includes voice recording which gives you the opportunity to analyse critical situations to support your continual improvement - this application uses Entropia’s infrastructure and no additional hardware is needed. We also offer an advance recording option which has further features such as the documenting of the time that the conversations took place, the exporting of the conversations for archiving, and the playing of the last talk burst - again this does not require extra hardware.




The evolution of smarter, super-fast, encrypted communication is in your hands. Take control of time critical situations.

No matter the location of your workers, or the time of day or night, our system will pick up on any inactivity or motion and raise a vital sign alarm to key personnel. The vicinity of the lone worker will be tracked, and their location provided to the emergency services. Our man down alarm function monitors the position of the worker’s two-way radio – this active monitoring system will be triggered when the device remains horizontal. In the first instance a remote operator will try to reach the worker via the device, if there is no response an alarm will be raised for immediate action.

In-Building & Underground Communications to enhance your workforce’s performance

Ensuring the reliability of your employee’s two-way radio will increase both their efficiency and their safety.

Our two-way radios are robust enough to work in the harshest of environments. And when they are boosted with Entropia’s additional technology to increase their signal range they become the ultimate communication solution. In certain situations, you may need additional signal power. For example, if your employees work in ports surrounded by industrial infrastructure or guard an underground space, the thick building materials (usually concrete or steel walls) can act as a barrier and block the signal. This will almost definitely delay communications and in some instances, prevent the user from transmitting and receiving information completely.


The additional technology we provide to ensure reliable connectivity in such environments consists of repeaters to boost the signal range with DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) This provides a solution when poor connectivity is a problem. It can be deployed to the smallest apartment blocks or a deep mine to the largest manufacturing buildings.

DAS technology amplifies our digital network in buildings and underground spaces through the strategic placement of antennas – typically on roof tops. This boosts the signal to improve the performance of the communication device allowing the user to send and receive voice and data communications.


The Distributed Antenna System distributes the signal from one of our nearby masts. We have over 400 masts throughout the Flanders, Netherlands and Belgium.

Leveraging our proven track record in digital communication solutions, Entropia designs and implements customised in-door coverage systems to address the unique needs of each customer.

Creating and implementing custom in-door coverage systems will ensure optimal installation to deliver superior performance. Depending on the location we will ensure that all personnel in need of mission critical communications are equipped with the technology to keep them connected to their teams and their control room.

As leaders in our field, we will provide the optimum radio coverage solution. This includes the design, engineering, installation and all project related management tasks. In addition, we will monitor the system’s performance to keep your organisation moving forward and your employees safe.

The signal source for all Distributed Antenna Systems is the most important factor. As we own our own fully managed licenced network, we can guarantee the quality and reliability of the original signal source for complete peace of mind.

Business Critical versus Mission Critical?

To make it easier to understand our definitions of service we have put together this simple explainer section. But first here is an introduction to our company.

Entropia provides TETRA and Broadband two-way voice and data communication services. Entropia's ComBus & Combonet together provide a catalogue of cloud-based apps that connect people and key equipment together across all technologies and networks.


Mission critical is the essential communications service provision for blue light and pale blue light operations including police, fire, ambulance, security, and the utility sector. All these organisations have demanding communications requirements.

Mission critical delivers instant call setup and instant data messages, both with a greater than 99.999% call setup guarantee even if the carrier infrastructure is congested. This is our definition of mission critical, and a pledge we stand by.

To achieve this grade of service, the network operator must ensure absolute continuity of resources and connectivity for a pre-determined operation area. There cannot be any third-party resources that the network provider cannot fully control.

The TETRA infrastructure is totally owned, controlled, and managed by Entropia meaning that continuity of resource can be guaranteed. Entropia has over 30 years’ worth of experience in voice and data networks. TETRA remains the most popular choice for mission critical services across the world today.

Yes, however for this broadband service to be graded as Mission Critical the end-to-end service and infrastructure must be a private network with all the resources being controlled and managed by either Entropia or by the organisation using the service. There cannot be any third-party resources that the network provider cannot fully control.

No, we do not class it as mission critical, this is because we use partner networks in over 176 countries accessing 500+ tier 1 networks to provide connectivity.

Our provisions rely on our service partner networks to provide connectivity which grades the service as Business Grade. Business Grade communications still provides a high grade of service suitable for many organisations, but with less emphasis on protecting and saving lives.

Yes, ComBus’ catalogue of applications can be used on both grades of network. Only the network they operate on can determine if the use is mission critical or broadband critical. ComBus as such is always mission critical.
