Dispatching Workstation • DWS seen as a TETRA subscriber • Dynamic ITSI allocation at login • All ongoing CALL Monitoring • Transmits / receives SDS • Access to DGNA • Subscriber Localisation • Emergency call • Dispatcher profiles • Internal Tetra voice coding ITSI Disp1 ITSI Disp2 FLEET 1 LAN TETRA ToIP NETWORK ITSI Disp3 ITSI Disp4 FLEET 2 ToIP LAN WAN ITSI Disp5 REMOTE DISPATCHER
Recording Station(s) Recorder • Direct Tetra Uplane packets recording, • Full Call data (CDR) storage, including TPIs, localisation, • Recorder database administration • “Recorders by fleet” architecture • Multiple replay stations capability • Tetra voice codec embedded intothe replay station • Access to recorded communications by all possible criteria: calling/called Pty, Talking party, Priority, localisation, date, etc ...

Gateways - PABX, PSTN, SDS, ... In a TETRA over IP network • A gateway is seen as a Base Station • Gateways can be located anywhere in the network • GW subscribers, PABX subscribers, Dispatchers, etc... are processed as radio subscribers TETRA over IP provides several benefits => Tetra/PABX numbering scheme association, => Call forwarding between MS and external subscribers, => Group call from outside the TETRA network => Emergency call, pre-emption, call queuing available
IP DATA Gateway • Provides for IP Over Tetra • Mobile internet • IP address migration • IP/ITSI management • More than a “simple” client / server : both way connection Mail server TETRA ToIP NETWORK

Several ToIP Systems are Operational • Dunkerque Municipality Serviceslate 2000, 3 sites, 170 Terminals, • Ecuador Armed ForcesAug 2001, 13 sites, 300 Terminals • UN Forceslate 2001, 3 sites, 100 Terminals • Gibraltar Security Services (Gibtel)Sept 2002, 5 sites, 350 Terminals • French Armed forces in Senegal, D’jibouti and Tchad2003/2004, 8 fixed sites, 3 Transp. Sites, 800 Terminals • Electricity Distribution / SCADA Areva/Sonelgaz Algeria2004, 30 sites, 1100 Terminals • TetraStar PAMR Denmark2004/2005, 60 sites >> about 100 sites, • Southern France Highways2005, 70 sites,
Conclusion • TETRA over IP is a field proven architecture • TETRA over IP is an open platform for system integration • TETRA over IP is the right combination of state of the art mobile communication and computer technologies
