A.S.T.R.I.D. is a specialised operator that provides the development, management and maintenance of a high technology mobile radio communications network for voice and data transmission. A .S.T.R.I.D. is a federal and local council initiative.

The A.S.T.R.I.D. limited liability company under public law was founded in 1998 at the initiative of the federal and local governments in Belgium, after a series of incidents had made painfully clear the need for a common and reliable communications network for the police and emergency services.

The high-tech network that A.S.T.R.I.D. today provides to the police and emergency services makes a major contribution to the proper implementation of the interventions, the safety of the users in the field and the protection and security of the entire population.

Paging

With the digital ASTRID paging system you can quickly and securely send paging messages to addressees in Belgium. The Belgian fire brigades (which to a great extent rely on volunteers), the civil defence and various medical services are among those who use the ASTRID paging to call up their personnel in the event of an incident.
