Enhancing Safety And Security
For A Leading Italian Bank

A complex upgrade with no margin for downtime

While the solution was clear, the implementation faced a major challenge with 35 bank branches across a wide geographic area requiring radio upgrades as well as the vehicles used to transport valuables between branches and central vaults. Communications coverage needed to remain reliable not only at fixed locations, but also along transit routes used daily by security teams.

The new system needed to be deployed with:

• Zero operational downtime, to avoid exposing branches or vehicles to security risk

• Seamless transition from the existing system, with no loss of coverage

• Carefully coordinated logistics, ensuring the right equipment and personnel were in place at each location

• Minimal disruption to staff workflows and training requirements

Any interruption during cutover could compromise safety, making continuity as important as capability.

Strong security, faster response times, increased confidence

The upgraded radio fleet delivered immediate improvements in audio quality, coverage, and reliability across both fixed and mobile operations. For the bank, this translated directly into enhanced security, improved coordination, and faster response during critical situations.

Workforce safety was also strengthened through built-in features such as:

• Highly visible emergency keys, enabling rapid escalation

• Man Down and Lone Worker alarms, automatically alerting control rooms if a security guard is incapacitated

• Faster, location-aware response, ensuring assistance can be directed quickly and accurately

By combining trusted technology with careful planning and execution, the project reinforced confidence at every level, from frontline security teams to operational leadership.

Thanks to long-standing relationships and trust built up over the years, Tait was able to understand the customer’s needs and closely collaborate with both integrator Pontiradio PR and local dealer JESCOM Europe to create an effective solution.

Built for continuity, today and tomorrow

This deployment highlights the value of long-term partnerships and standards-based design in securitycritical environments. By modernising its communications without disrupting operations, the bank strengthened protection for staff and assets while laying a foundation for future evolution.

With a reliable, coordinated radio network now in place, the organisation benefits from clearer communications, safer workflows, and the confidence that its security operations are supported by proven, durable technology, wherever the job takes them.
