Critico Secures Major Tender for Station End Equipment: A Game-Changer for UK Fire and Rescue Services
We are thrilled to announce that Critico has won a significant tender to supply a Station End Equipment (SEE) solution to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services (Joint Service). This win marks a major shift in the Station End market and positions Critico as the go-to provider of modern, cutting-edge communication solutions for fire and rescue services across the UK and Ireland.
With many Fire Services still using legacy Station End equipment and simple bleep pagers, Critico’s next–generation Station End solution – developed in conjunction with Swissphone – offers an innovative new approach to station mobilisation to provide a more flexible, powerful and integrated approach that provides a future-proof, multi-channel platform for more effective mobilisation and response.
At this year’s Emergency Tech Show, we had the pleasure of discussing our recent tender win with Derbyshire Fire and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services. Watch our video interview to hear firsthand how Critico’s solution is set to enhance their operations and ensure seamless, reliable communication for the future.
What’s new?
Critico’s new SEE solution incorporates advanced network management and control to deliver a regional simulcast paging network providing greater alerting capability and flexibility across the Joint Service area.
A unique POCSAG fall-back capability delivers enhanced resilience with the local SEE transmitters themselves able to auto-switch to acting an inter-site communication bearer in the event primary WAN connections are interrupted.
Our multi-channel support means Fire Services can leverage the enhanced capabilities of two-way paging and app messaging, knowing who is responding or available to co-ordinate a more effective incident response.

Our expertise in reliable, high-performance paging and communication solutions paired with Swissphone’s state-of-the-art technology, makes us the trusted choice for fire and rescue services seeking a more flexible, responsive, and reliable system.
We are now offering a next-generation solution that blends cutting-edge design with field-tested performance, ensuring that fire services have the tools they need for both routine operations and high-pressure situations.
