TETRA Market Overview Jeppe Jepsen Vice-Chair TETRA Association
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 -- 380/400MHz (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
Supplier Base 2003 Cleartone Damm Cellular DeTeWe ETELM Frequentis OTE Nokia Niros Motorola • R&S Bick Mobilfunk • Rohill • Sepura • Siemens • Simoco Digital UK • Ltd. • Teltronic • Thales-Defence • Thales-ISR • Zetron
Market Expansion Commitment to supply TETRA equipment in new frequency bands to serve TETRA customers: • Russian 300MHz band • China 350 -380MHz band
Great Expectations Wins............... Abu Dhabi Police Germany Portugal Russia China + + +....
The latest wins for TETRA • Kuwait MoI • Sweden – a nationwide system for Emergency Services
UK - Airwave • 1400 sites operational and 40-50,000 terminals in operation and soon more than 100,000 terminals sold from 4 terminal vendors. • Ambulance Authorities in tender process • Results expected May / June 2004 • Fire Authorities in tender process • 3 short listed bidders; results expected in October
Austria • Government is tendering for service • 2 TETRA bids • 1 Tetrapol bid...................
Russia • Russia is a great market for TETRA • Many small/ medium size contracts • TETRA RUS – a nationwide shared government TETRA network • MoC order 161 – creation of working Group • State Commission Decission 57 – Unified system based on TETRA • MOR will use TETRA • Line to Kaliningrad will use GSM-R
Hungary • Project focus back • TETRA Forum Hungary formed
Greece • MoD purchased system for Olympics • Siemens / Motorola / Frequenties provides infrastructure and control consoles • Nokia / Motorola provides terminals
Italy • Government report highligting the need for government agencies to use private network technologies vs. GSM/GPRS/UMTS. • Report highlights TETRA as multivendor solution vs. Tetrapol being single supplier only.
South Africa • South Africa Police Service • Tender process completed – 10 consortia responded • TETRA won • Cape Town Municipality • TETRA been installed many years – shared system for all municipal users. • During electricity black-out – all systems EXCEPT TETRA was off air for multiple hours.
Germany • Equipment or airtime ? • Central or de-central purchase ? • Umbrella agreement between states – 15 March2004 • TETRA – Tetrapol – GSM-ASCI • Vodafone is driving hard
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 • 2002 - Auditor General recommends using unified radio communication system • 2003 - Subway disaster – inadequate communications key issue • 2003 – Inter-operability feasibility and planning • 2003 - 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.
