Jeppe Jepsen Vice-Chair TETRA Association TETRA Market Overview

User choice Technology choices: –TDMA 25kHz systems –CDMA MHz networks –APCO 25 –Traditional FM 25/12.5/6.25kHz –MESA broadband –GSM Conclusion – TETRA.... the economic higher capacity solution that can be customised to meet users needs

TETRA – the Ideal Common Platform Matches Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) requirements /400MHz (TETRA) identified by ITU Already widely deployed Longevity – global standard In daily use by Public Safety organisations Competitive procurement = Cost effective solutions

3 Country Pilot - Scenario Results Operational tests between Germany, Belgium & Holland First phase report quotes - –First time that communication across three borders was possible –A great success Achievements –Cross border working between individual agencies proven –Cross border working between multi-agencies proven –Showed that TETRA works between vendors systems ISI OK but needs further refinement

Advantages of Sharing Operational Cost Environmental benefits Accountability Spectrum efficiency Affordable resilience Physical security of sites Shared control rooms Redundancy can be provided by public systems

TETRA advantages over GSM-ASCI Call setup performance Group call flexibility Security Air-to-ground solution Terminals from 7 vendors Direct Mode Specilized market vs. Mass market

South Korea Auditor General recommends using unified radio communication system Subway disaster – inadequate communications key issue 2003 – Inter-operability feasibility and planning Committee decide on TETRA for inter-operability 2004 – Implementation of TETRA for subways

Disasters have regrettably often been Major Motivators for Interoperability Planning Germany was first! Mandated Interoperability between blue light services in 1976!

Norway –Train accident in Asta, January 2000 followed several marine accidents Sweden –Disco Fire & EU Summit in Gothenburg United Kingdom –Hillsborough, Clapham, Kings Cross September 11th attacks were experienced worldwide –Interoperability is getting more attention than ever –It is becomming inconceivable to plan for non-interoperability France –Decision being formalised to force Fire and Health to AcroPol network. –Arguments used are cost saving and need for Interoperability.
