Intracom Telecom, a global telecommunication systems and solutions vendor, announced the supply of its market-leading Point-to-Point microwave (PtP MW) radio, OmniBAS™, to Morocco in the frame of the Border Management Program for the Maghreb.

The EU-financed Border Management Program for the Maghreb region is designed to help Maghreb countries curb irregular migration. It aims to enhance the institutional framework of Morocco and Tunisia to protect, monitor and manage their borders.

The company said in a press release it undertook the responsibility to deploy the products with local engineering and installation services.

Through the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, the Border Management Program for the Maghreb, implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), seeks to improve the Moroccan authorities’ capacity to manage their borders, in order to protect vulnerable migrants, deal with irregular migration, and dismantle cross-border criminal networks.

Intracom Telecom was selected for the provision of its reliable split-mount OmniBAS™ solution in order to strengthen the Moroccan authorities’ capability to meet these challenges.

The Program is taking advantage of the system’s unrivalled capabilities, unparalleled flexibility and outstanding performance to further improve communication and data transfer between the relevant authorities. The company’s OmniBAS™ systems, consisting of high-performance indoor and outdoor (ODU) units, provide leading-edge modulation up to 4096-QAM for high throughput radio communications, support XPIC functionality and maximize the efficiency of the radio resources used, Intracom Telecom said in the press release.

Christian Chataigner, Commercial Director of Intracom Telecom Morocco, stated: “Being aware of the heavy migration pressure in Morocco we know how important it is to offer solutions that would efficiently address the issue and support of the Border Management Program for the Maghreb. We are glad to supply our technology that focuses on upgrading and supporting the Moroccan authorities’ network, providing the proper management and control tools for border surveillance.”

John Tenidis, Marketing Director of Intracom Telecom’s wireless solutions portfolio, commented: “Intracom Telecom’s OmniBAS™ split-mount links are the ideal solution to strengthen border management and minimize or even eliminate eventually irregular migration, not only in Morocco but in any country that is facing similar issues. Company’s solution has been widely deployed in Europe for critical communication networks and we are confident that we will address this challenging project successfully.”
