Tetrapol is a digital professional mobile radio standard for digital voice and data communication used by public safety and military throughout Europe. Tetrapol was originally developed by Matra Communication (Currently part of EADS/Airbus Group) in France in the 1980's. At the time, the system was known as as "Matracom 9600".
The first Tetrapol customers were the Gendarmerie (mid-1992) and the police (early 1995) in France. Today, Tetrapol technology is supported and is being further developed by two organisations: the Tetrapol Forum (predominantly manufacturers) and the Tetrapol User's Club (user organisations). Tetrapol is not to be confused with the similar sounding TETRA system.
