IBETEC is a public company belonging to the Government of the Balearic Islands.

It is the benchmarking public body in terms of telecommunications services, innovation and public infrastructure operator. It is the tool of the Govern to boost and extend the telecommunications services in the Balearic society.

The main services that it promotes or provides are: the extension of the coverage of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), matching the television offer present in the towns with that of the cities; the mobile security and emergency communications service (tetraIB); the construction of new telecommunications towers to deploy new services of public utility; and the co-location service to other telecommunications operators in telecommunications centers under their management. In the immediate future, the Government will launch, through IBETEC, the creation of a new communications network called IoTIB, conceived for “Internet of Things” and a drone service.

TDT

BETEC works to guarantee the reception of DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) throughout the territory of Illes Balears.
You can check the DTT channels of each issuing center on the website of Emitting Centers (CenEmi), published by the General Direction of Technological Development:

Communication

IBETEC makes its infrastructure available to public and private companies to facilitate the provision of communications services.

You can check the offer of the co-location service in the electronic headquarters of the Balearic Government:

TETRAIB

IBETEC manages the digital mobile communications network for the security and emergency services of the Balearic Islands (tetraIB), such as local police, firefighters, ambulances, etc.

With this network it has been possible to unify, centralize and coordinate the mobile communications of the local and regional administrations, in compliance with the emergency management law of the Balearic Islands. IIt aims to foster the interoperability of the intervention units that are mobilized in case of emergency among the different public administrations of the regional government of the Balearic Islands.
The main advantages of the network are:

  • Null cost for users.
  • Large coverage area.
  • High quality of communication
  • Voice recording.
  • Geopositioning in real time.
  • Interactive fleet management

DRONES

Currently under development, this project aims to provide a drone service for Public Administrations of the Balearic Islands. The added value is achieved by integrating this service with IoTib and the data transport network.

IOTIB

It is currently focused on its area of ​​innovation to develop the first public network of the Spanish State (and, possibly, of the entire European Union) of the scope of the so-called “Internet of Things”, called the IoTib Network.

It is a network of long-range sensors and low consumption, which is based on the technology known as LoRaWAN.
The service offered by IBETEC is:

  • coverage of the IoTIB Network in the whole Balearic territory for public organisms.
  • manage/maintain the network and data through the IoTIB Platform.
  • make the data available to users through the Sentilo Platform.

The Government will thus expand the range of innovative services, leading its implementation in the Balearic territory.
