“TOWARDS A BROADBAND FUTURE” The TCCA’s Critical Communications Broadband Group (CCBG)

1. Radio Communication Expert Group • 11thApril2013, Helsinki “TOWARDS A BROADBAND FUTURE” The TCCA’sCritical Communications Broadband Group (CCBG) Emmanuelle Villebrun Vice Chair TCCA Critical Communication Broadband Group Coordinator in network development Ministry of Interior - France

2. Taking the broadband agenda forward • CCBG’s goals are to: • enable all Critical Comms users to access their information systems, apps. etc. reliably & at broadband speeds on their professional mobile devices - wherever they are & whenever they have the need. • ensure that future Critical Comms BB solutions meet the particular needs of Critical Comms users - just as reliably as today’s voice & narrowband data services are delivered by current technology, e.g. TETRA. • Our tasks in coordination with other skateholders: • drive the standardisation of common, global, mobile BB technology solutions for Critical Comms users. • lobby regulators etc. for appropriate - & as far as possible harmonised - spectrum for deployment of Critical Comms BB networks.

3. Our key issues… • Technology: LTE is the chosen technology for radio access, evolution towards IP is a prerequisite… • Available on dedicated infratructure • PMR services can also be implemented on commercial networks (with no guaranteed resources, and important overload risks) • Spectrum: we still need to lobby for dedicated frequencies taking into account all opportunities 700MHz, 400MHz etc… • We need dedicated spectrum even if we will be able to use shared infrastructures or commercial operators infrastructures • Budgets: Develop a solution we can afford • Alternative delivery approaches: • MVNO, public operators, satellite • We need a common framework to avoid proprietary solutions (need participations)

4. Technology Standardisation • Aimed at including support of fundamentally requiredfeatures for critical comms applications in future standards releases, e.g. for: • Group working • Direct mode • Resilience & security • Speech as well as data services

5. Standardisation Progress http://3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/TSG_SA/TSGS_58/Docs/SP-120883.zip http://3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/TSG_SA/TSGS_58/Docs/SP-120876.zip

6. Services Evolution Roadmap

7. Concept Roadmap & Timescales • Commercial networks will also still be used (e.g. for non-critical data) in a hybrid model • Commercial network could be used in a MVNO model to improve coverage and resiliency • This roadmap does not include service/application layer standardisation process Data via commercial networks/MVNO model Capacity Mission critical broadband data via dedicated networks Integrated Voice + Data < - - - - - - - - TEDS - - - - - - - - - > TETRA-1/Tetrapol/P25/GSM-R mission critical Data TETRA/Tetrapol/P25/GSM-R mission critical Voice Next Generation Development work < 2020 2005 2012 2025/30?

8. What’new • LTE isbecoming a reality • LTE 400MHz experiment in France, 2 sites, 4 vehicles, a control room • By 2020 LTE technology for professionalusersincluding public safetywillbeavailable • On dedicated infrastructure • On commercial networks • But: • LTE is not enough: weneed a set of standard applications for voice as well as for data • How long willwedevelopdifferentsystems: TETRA, TETRAPOL, GSM-R ? • Knowingtheywillbecomeobsolete

9. System architecture Without commercial networks Out of LTE standard Command & Control centers & Apps Security Subscriber & Group Expand to Multi-media services Public Safety Services Communications Services Improveenablers for Bearer control & Efficiency & Resilience IP Core Network with Mobility & QoS In LTE standard 4G LTE Legacy PMR/ LMR 3GPP Domain ProSE & ReNO End users devices

10. What’s to do next • Express interoperability/architecture needs • On dedicated infrastructure • On commercial networks • Other media (satellites etc…) • Migration needs • Application part • Define how and whowillmake the standard and how the users and operatorswillbebetterinvolved in the process • Define a commonenvironmentsothat applications canbeeasilydevelopped not only by actualindustrialactors (open application market) • Define minimum set of application for interoperability

11. Do all countries have the same needs? Geography is different Actual systems are different (TETRA/TETRAPOL/GSM-R) We need to define a set of common needs taking our difference into account… In order to have real interoperable systems

14. INPT LTE 400 MHz trial in Tours

15. Objectives • Technical experimentation, no operational use of the network • Equipment demonstration, 400MHz LTE feasibility • Equipments: • 2 base stations in Tours on already existing TETRAPOL sites  overlay scenario, with successful coverage testing • 4 vehicles • A control room • Actors • Cassidian (with support of Alcatel Lucent) • French ministry of interior (DSIC) , IT direction

16. Services • Video services • Video data exchange downlink and uplink • Video streaming from vehicles to control room • Remote control of camera in vehicle • Location services • Shared location • Map with operational state of different teams on the field • Migration of already existing data application • Medical data sharing • Status • No voice over LTE (TETRAPOL)

17. Equipments • Network equipment Lteaser Alcatel • Control room • Geolocation application • Video management application • Joystick for camera remote control • 4 vehicles • 1 camera • 1 joystick • An android tablet with different applications (video, geolocation etc…)

18. INPT 4G LTE 400 MHz trial configuration in Tours • Set-up: • High power modem • New MBS using 1.4 MHz • ePC (ALU) • Applications - video, geo-localization • Main conclusions: • Same coverage than narrowband • Video available everywhere in the cell

19. Real operational opportunities! • Powerful video applications • Remote control of cameras • Sharing videos through tablet • Reuse of already existing IP applications • We still need to work on application part!!! • To improve these first platforms • To take into account emergency call (112) management evolution (multimedia calls, automatic calls, increasing number of calls)
