Key facts
Polycom is the security radio system of Switzerland’s authorities and organisations for rescue and security. Due to the manufacturer’s change of technology, the system in Switzerland needs to be brought up to date. Parallel operation is necessary as long as both technologies are in use. The Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS) is contributing around CHF 65 million to this technological development. Together with the Federal Office for Civil Protection (FOCP), the Confederation is investing a total of around CHF 160 million in this project.
