01What is being requested
Supply of a new, modern navigation system for vehicles playing a role in fire service incident response, to replace the current 2G-based application. The system must be operational by Q3 2027 at the latest and must include interfaces to other functional systems.
The fire service in Drenthe uses an application for route navigation for incident response. Currently, VRD uses a route navigation application that only works with 2G. Since 2G will no longer be available from December 2027, VRD is looking for another application.
