Mobile Broadband and future of Public Safety Networks From a Tetra Operator Perspective
Content: • Current Network Standards and Functionality • The Requirement for Mobile Broadband • Mobile Broadband- Options and Challenges
Current Network Service Standards and Functionality Coverage • 98/99% Geographical Coverage (600 sites) • In-Building Coverage-2,000 buildings uplifted • AGA Network and 20km out to sea • Direct Mode (off-network) Resilience • 92% Overlapping Coverage • Standby Mirror Switch • Power Resilience • Local Site Trunking
Current Network Service Standards and Functionality.... Capacity • Dedicated Network/Uncongested • Capacity Uplift for Planned/Unplanned event • Obama/Queen visit experience • Mobile Coverage/Capacity • Overall system availability of above 99.95% • Proactively Monitored 24*7 • Over 40 million group calls • Security- Physical, Encryption, Kill/Stun
Current Network Service Standards and Functionality..... Status Messages “At the scene of accident” Private Calling (on net) Mission Critical Voice Services Group Calling SDS Text messages AVLS Telephony (Off-net calling) Interoperate Mission Critical Data Services
Public Safety Data Applications Public Safety Network of Future TETRA 3G/4G
Mission Critical Broadband Applications Video Calling Medical Applications Video User Led Application Business Case • Public Safety Outcomes- e.g. crime • Cost Benefit Analysis • Leveraging existing networks • User Trials on existing 3G/LTE networks • Impact on existing public safety processes • Control Room Impact • Resourcing/Control/Training Impact Public Safety Applications will grow in next 5-10 years and drive requirement for additional Spectrum
Key Timelines for Public Safety LTE Development LTE Standards: Group- Calling Proximity Services LTE Standards: Public Safety Resilience LTE Standards: Push to Talk Voice Mission Critical Data Development Work on Group Calling- LTE Vendors Development Work on Resilience, Other..
