7th ANNUAL IEEE TECHNICAL EXCHANGE MEETING TETRA Radio Technology for the New Century Bayan A Al-Mobarak Computer & Comms Engineering Dept April 18, 2000
Agenda • What is TETRA • Benefits of TETRA • Spectral Efficiency Comparisons • TETRA Network • Standards • TETRA System Deployment in Saudi Aramco • Conclusion
WHAT IS TETRA? • TETRA : • TErrestrial Trunked RAdio is the latest digital mobile communications standard from the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) • Mobile Radio open Standard • Digital Speech and Data communications • Provides high quality mobile radio communications that resolve the existing problems
Benefits of TETRA • Open Standard • System Efficiency • Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) Features • Longevity
Open Standard • Multiple Sourcing • System to System Roaming • Very Large Market
System Efficiency • Spectral Efficiency • Full Duplex • Combined Voice and Data • Bandwidth on Demand
PMR Features • Group Call • Individual Call • Telephone call • Emergency Call • Direct Mode • Priority level • Fast Call Set-Up
PMR Features, Continued • Call Authorized by Dispatcher • Area Selection • Access Priority • Late Entry • Pre-emptive Priority Call • Discreet Listening
Telephone Features • Call Hold • Call Completion to Busy Subscriber • Transfer of Control • Include Call
Comparison of TETRA spectrum efficiency with other technologies 200kHz bandwidth 200 kHz carrier 8 channels GSM Half-rate GSM (future) 200 kHz carrier 16 channels PMR 25 kHz 25 kHz channel 8 channels / 200 kHz PMR 12.5 kHz APCO25 (US) Tetrapol 12.5 kHz channels 16 channels / 200 kHz 25 kHz carrier 4 channels / carrier 32 channels / 200 kHz TETRA
