For this reason, the demo design has been reformulated for: However, for such operational context, a gateway would required a level of stability, flexibility, configuration and management that a proof of concept prototype, like the one developed in WP43, cannot deliver. The initial intent was to use the TETRA ISI over IP to TETRAPOL gateway developed in WP43 to interconnect the two networks in the real scenario. Originally, the “Joint police surveillance patrol” was meant as a trial demo. The ISITEP demo aimed to show the technically feasibility of connecting a TETRAPOL system to a TETRA one, using open interfaces like the published and well known interface CC-API, on the TETRAPOL side and the standard TETRA ISI, over IP interface on the TETRA.

In this context, communications are enabled by the integration between the two networks SP SIRDEE (TETRAPOL) and PT SISREP (TETRA) through B2B TETRA-TETRAPOL radio gateways deployed in areas of overlapping coverage that allows patching of Republican National Guard and Guardia Civil radio groups. The competent authorities may agree to conduct joint patrols and mobile controls consisting of agents and officials of both parties in areas of fifty kilometres from the border. The officers work together remaining subjected to the own applicable laws developing land, sea or air mixed patrols, establishing operations of mobile controls and performing joint researches. Their main activities are the collection and exchange of relevant information, the prevention and suppression of the criminal activities in border areas, in particular, those related to illegal immigration, human trafficking, drugs and weapons, the support for surveillance and crimes’ persecution and the coordination of joint measures for patrolling the border area. The law enforcement agencies of the two countries share, along borders, 8 Police and Customs Cooperation Centers (PCCC). The goal of this trial was to demonstrate how Portugal-Spain police cross border cooperation could be improved resorting to ISITEP framework.Ĭurrently, “the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic on border cooperation on police and customs matters agreement” signed in 2005 by Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic, regulate the cooperation between the two countries. The ISITEP “Joint surveillance patrol” has been the last performed ISITEP demo.
