A New Era in Critical Communications

1. A New Era in Critical Communications

2. ETELM Introduction Manufacturer of Mission Critical Communications Infrastructure Private Company with Head Office in Paris, France Communications Technology Manufacturer for over 30 years Systems installed in more than 40 Countries Worldwide Supply to Network Operators, Manufacturers and Integrators Innovation in Communications Technology – Launch of the e-TBS which is the only TETRA base station directly integrated into an LTE/4G public or private network

3. Mission Critical Communications – Technical Challenges • Need to Retain Existing Mission Critical Services – Voice + Data • Requirement for Mobile Broadband Data • High Security Encryption • System Autonomy & Administrative Control • Frequency Spectrum Availability ? • Coverage Requirements ? • Risk Management – Evolution • Futureproof Technology

4. Own Private System or Network Operator Service? • Network Operator Service • Security Concerns • Reliability Concerns • Priority Services ? • No Frequency Issues • Coverage Requirements • Continuous Update • Private System • Frequency Spectrum ? • Equipment Costs • Installation & Maintenance • Large Investment in Backhaul • Replacement of Subscriber Equipment • Obsolesence

5. e-TBS Solution: Fully Converged TETRA + LTE • Merger of Private TETRA + Operator LTE • Direct S1 Interface to LTE Core • e-TBS is a TETRA eNodeB • Seamless Mobility Management of TETRA Subscribers • Virtual Private Networking of Services • Retain TETRA Frequencies & Services • Low Risk Implementation of 4G Data Services • Solution Available Now

6. e-TBS: Direct S1 Connection to LTE Core same as eNodeB LTE NMS LTE NETWORK S1 TETRA NMS eNodeB LTE

7. e-TBS: SEAMLESS Communications between User Equipments Distributed Mobility Management TETRA API S1 LTE NETWORK TETRA ISSI+LTE NMI Direct communications BetweenLTE & TETRA Subscribers TETRA ISSI+LTE NMI LTE API S1 eNodeB LTE

8. e-TBS: Single Site: eTBS + eNodeB LTE NMS LTE NETWORK S1 eNodeB LTE TETRA NMS S1 X2 eNodeB LTE

9. eTBS: Integrate Existing Backhaul to LTE Core The existinglink network maybeintegratedinto the LTE backbone S1 EXISTING LINK NETWORK LTE NETWORK S1 S1 LTE eNodeB

10. eTBS: Retain Existing Dispatcher Centres Direct access to TETRA API TETRA API LTE NETWORK S1 TETRA Subscribers LTE API S1 eNodeB LTE LTE Subscribers

11. e-TBS: Integrate with LTE Applications – i.e. Call Billing TETRA API LTE NETWORK S1 TETRA Subscribers Direct access to LTE API LTE API S1 eNODEB LTE

12. User Advantages of e-TBS • Fully Integrated Mission Critical Voice + Broadband Data • Direct connect TETRA over LTE – NO Gateways • Open Standard – Non Proprietary • Retain : All Existing TETRA Subscribers Control Centre Applications Backhaul Networks TETRA Frequency Spectrum • Virtual Private Networks – Critical & Non-Critical Functionality • Distinct Network Administration & Accountability

13. Network Operator Advantages of e-TBS • MERGE Commercial & Mission Critical Technologies • Clear Responsibilities between TETRA & LTE Services • Integrate existing Link Networks to expand LTE Backhaul • Retain Existing TETRA Frequency Allocations • Rapid Deployment of TETRA with Virtual Private Networking • Benefit from wider coverage of TETRA sites

14. e-TBS Conclusions – The 6 i’s Industry 1st - Direct Integration without Gateways Innovation – Seamless TETRA and LTE Communications Interoperability – Mission Critical & High Speed Mobile Data Inclusive – Solution that works for Users & Network Operators Investment – Migration to New Technology at Low Risk Immediate – Solution for bringing LTE to Critical Users TODAY
