The security profession is on the increase due to the growing need to protect. Today’s risks include the threat of terrorism, attacks on high profile individuals and their property, aggression towards governments and crowd control. In a crisis, action must be taken fast.
We supply reliable and robust communications solutions to security personnel from all industries. Hospitality, leisure, and corporate sectors in particular require our products and services to keep large numbers of the general public safe. We pride ourselves in providing cutting edge technology that helps to prevent disasters.
For every client, we take time to understand their unique needs. Our service is fully flexible and offers many features. It is important to us here at Entropia that our customers don’t pay for any functionalities that they will never use, making our solutions cost effective and fit for purpose.
The radios we supply have an emergency call function, GPS tracking with options for man down and lone worker protection for additional peace of mind. The equipment we supply can withstand harsh wind, water, dust, and impact shock. The advance technology cancels out background noise and the user benefits from the long battery life.
Unfortunately, our safety personnel witness and experience abuse, both verbal and physical. This can be towards them, or to members of the public. The wearing of a body camera acts as a deterrent keeping them safe while fulfilling their duties. But should an incident occur, the body camera will capture and transmit the live footage to ensure additional support is deployed if necessary or to be used as evidence at a later date.
It’s essential that security staff are equipped with robust and reliable two-way radios with flawless connectivity to ensure their safety. Lone worker and man down alarms form an essential part of your commitment to safe and efficient working practices. Lone worker functions on our radios can be configured so that they operate automatically as a failsafe, removing the need for staff to put them in operation.
Having real-time information on the location of individuals on a site is paramount to keeping them safe. This reliable technology allows radio devices to be tracked inside structures and buildings for additional peace of mind. If there is a radio in range of the beacon it sees the device and reports via Entropia’s ComBus back to the application with the device identity and position. This works seamlessly alongside GPS radio features for tracking workers who are beyond the range of the indoor beacons.
By using a combination of the two technologies, beaconing and GPS, the application identifies the exact location of any individual radio or smart device. From there it’s a small step to add functionality that gives lone worker protection. These functions require workers to check in as a response to an automatically generated enquiry. Each device has a unique reference that is assigned to an individual worker.
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 with a wide range of user features and compatibility with leading manufacturer high-grade subscriber terminals.
Entropia helps security operations to connect with their personnel and assets, keeping them safe and secure at a low cost. Entropia's broadband critical for personnel gives an open channel of encrypted communication; a tool for safety and managing processes. Entropia offers the greatest range of functions over the broadest number of platforms for the widest geographical spread, including hybrid connectivity with Entropia TETRA.
Our solutions have built in emergency features to safeguard your lone workers, no matter their location. The innovative system detects inactivity and raises an alarm to alert the relevant personnel. Should a worker fall when working alone, the system will trigger an alert as the device remains horizontal of exceeds a preset angle. In both instances, the control room operator will try to reach the individual using the two-way radio. If there is no response, an alarm will be raised for immediate action.
Our groundbreaking technology allows your control room operators to accurately pinpoint the location of your remote workers as well as your physical assets such as vehicles. Knowing exactly where your front-line workers are at all times improves the efficiency of your resource deployment and speeds up response times should an incident arise.
Entropia’s application can be used with TETRA two-way radios or smartphones, using hybrid TETRA / broadband networks. A dynamic and secure directory enables you to easily locate the correct person and view their credentials. It also allows you to identify who is active or inactive. All information is updated in real-time.
The Entropia Push-to-Talk service transforms your smartphone into a PTT walkie-talkie-style device, complete with its own “Push-to-Talk” button. Other benefits of the application include comprehensive location tracking, push-to-video and much more.
Applications are compatible with Entropia TETRA and Broadband networks. Also available are hybrid TETRA / LTE broadband devices that enable connectivity to both TETRA and LTE simultaneously. For more information take a look at our TETRA hardware and accessories section.
Capturing real time video footage puts you directly at the scene. It supplies live visual and audible data to optimise the safety of your front-line personnel and the public, provide essential evidence and increases response times.
Providing front-line personnel with the technology to capture and stream live footage from a body-warn video ensures that they always act as a team. With every member of your team aware of a situation, and to witness its events unfold at the same time, empowers them to work together for the optimal outcome.
The wearing of a body camera instils confidence. Knowing that the event is being accurately recorded enables the wearer on the front-line to focus and assess the situation.

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.
