Motorola gets $140m police contract

VICTORIA Police will today sign a $140 million contract for
mobile data terminals with Motorola, despite Opposition claims the
network will be "antiquated" by the time it is deployed.

The Motorola dataTAC network will allow police officers on
patrol in vehicles to run license checks and access police
computers remotely. Currently officers use radios when they need
to access the police data network.

The much-anticipated investment - originally set at $100 million -
was announced in 2001, with Motorola named as the preferred
tenderer.

Contracts were initially expected to be signed in February 2003,
with service due to commence in late 2003.

The Opposition has been critical of the contract, which it claims has
blown out in cost.
