8. TETRA markets
Radio system challenges in the Transportation market
Why TETRA

9. Before TETRA Simple open channel communication Limited coverage
Every individual listens to every other individual
1st come, 1st served
No priority for important messages
Limited coverage
Radio black spots
Out of reach with no back up
Old analogue technology
‘Speech’ can be difficult to understand
Unintelligible communications with high background noise
Important information can be “lost”
Easy to scan frequencies, compromising operations
Every team to themselves
Minimum interoperability between teams
Event & crisis management difficulties

10. Railway challenges Passenger safety Security High speed rail
Data applications
Train monitoring and control, information display systems, text messaging, AVLS
Video / image transmission

11. Road transportation challenges
Intelligent transportation system
AVLS, traffic information displays, bus arrival times, traffic image transmission

12. Airport challenges Unprecedented air travel growth in the Asia Pacific
Proliferation of budget airlines
Competition between regional hubs for business
Airports face the challenge of providing more efficient service in a competitive environment and mounting traffic loads.
Need to expand the capacity of the radio system
For more channels and also to ensure that the coverage area is sufficient.
Need to be digital and data capable in order to be able to handle future mobile data requirements
Integrate with airport’s backend systems for better workflow.

13. Seaport challenges
Unprecedented international trade growth in the Asia Pacific
Competition between seaports
Seaports face the challenge of providing more efficient service in a competitive environment and mounting traffic loads.
Need to expand the capacity of the radio system
For more channels and also to ensure that the coverage area is sufficient.
Need to be digital and data capable in order to be able to handle future mobile data requirements
Integrate with seaport’s backend systems for better workflow.

14. Industry-wide issues Limited frequencies available Safety Security

15. TETRA markets
Radio system challenges in the Transportation market
Why TETRA

16. Why TETRA? Clear communications
Without hiss, crackle or background noise
TETRA is a digital technology
Functional groups only listen to relevant communications
No more confusion, no more lost messages
TETRA provides privacy & security
Users are not locked to a single radio terminal supplier
Healthy competition
TETRA is an open approved standard
Motorola can provide these benefits.

17. Why TETRA? TETRA ensures better access to communications
TETRA allows more users to make calls
More users supported with same frequencies
Better quality of service
Old conventional systems, some channels were idle, while others were congested
Old systems were inefficient
Motorola can provide these benefits.

18. Why TETRA? Three Services in One Radio
Cellular type calls
Offering call privacy to supervisors
Telephone access
Mobile data services
Improving staff efficiency with faster access to information
Passenger Information Systems, locations data database, address books, incident reports
Group calls
Instant calls to all team members
Improving efficiency and enhancing staff safety
Motorola can provide these benefits.

19. Why TETRA? Even more reasons
Voice and Data Facility
Telephony
DMO
SDS
IP & Packet Data
Mission critical features
Emergency / safety features
Secure radio system
Interoperability
Scaleable technology
Intrinsically Safe terminals

Opportunities for TETRA
Wherever and whenever locations are distributed and are geographically remote (either on-shore or off-shore) the need for high quality wireless communications becomes invaluable if not vital.
If we consider the multi-functionality of TETRA which effectively considers the system to be a secure wireless digital bearer that can handle Radio, Mobile Data and Telephony it really lends itself to both fixed and portable communications for all types of oil and gas facilities.
TETRA offers real flexibility to the end user by providing all of the facilities shown on the slide.
Maintenance and support staff whilst visiting remote sites need reliable communications between colleagues and Control Rooms and this is vital. Also the ability to make telephone calls to shore based staff or suppliers (anywhere in the world) is an extremely useful and efficient mechanism for such things as access to instant expertise and additional support.
Maintenance and support staff would also benefit from TETRA’s ability to transmit mobile data to hand-held devices so that procedures and spares information could be called upon from the remote work site.
The data services can be used to provide a reliable RF link for telemetry data, thus providing a high quality, efficient service in a secure environment.
Automatic Person Location and the Emergency Button also provides added security to staff working remotely.
With the development of scaleable compact TETRA solutions and intrinsically safe terminals the opportunities for using TETRA are developing day by day.

20. Summary TETRA offers the Transportation industry: Slide 19
Spectrum efficiency
Better voice quality
Integrated voice and data
Privacy & security
Mission critical features
High vehicular speed mobility
Multi vendor environment
Easier integration with other systems
Interoperability
Intrinsic Safety
Slide 19
We believe that as a standard TETRA can offer many advantages and the 3% percentage of overall contracts mentioned earlier confidently looks as it will grow with many oil & gas companies becoming interested in TETRA.
The offering is not just integrated voice and data but Spectrum efficiency, A Multi vendor’s environment, Easier Integration with other systems, clear health & safety advantages and of course intrinsic safety.
The nature of TETRA as a common digital carrier system enables all of the communications requirements to be integrated into a seamless and efficient package together with high levels of security and User operability.
Ultimately this will provide faster and more effective communication & Reporting. Giving information at the right time and providing the industry with real benefits.
