  1. Critical CommunicationWhat is needed most?Spectrum TETRA + Critical Communication Association

  2. Mission Critical Communication • ‘Mission critical operations’ for PPDR organisations address situations where human life and goods (rescue operations, law enforcement) and other values for society are at risk, especially when time is a vital factor. • This means we define ‘mission critical information’ as the vital information for PPDR to succeed with the operation. • ‘Mission critical communication solutions’ therefore means that PPDR needs secure, reliable and available communication and as a consequence cannot afford the risk of having failures in their individual and group communication (e.g. voice and data or video transmissions).

  3. Mission criticalcommunication solutions • Secure, • Reliable and • Available. • Individual communication- voice and data or video • Group communication - voice and data or video

  4. Secure • Confidentiality • Authenticity • Integrity • Availability • Accountability (Non repudiation)

  5. Reliable • No single point of failure • Graceful degradation • Available • Can be trusted • Deterministic vs Opportunistic

  6. Available – reliable - trusted • Go-Go • Government has full control • The safe historical way of operating • Co-Co • Full outsourcing • Requires very specific SLA’s and legal constraints • Go-Co • Outsourcing of Build and Operate. • Requires very specific SLA’s and legal constraints

  7. Outsourcing ?

  8. Obstacles when outsourcing • Coverage – coverage – coverage. • Specific functions • Group – uplink centric • Service Availability • MTBF – MTTR – uptime - Legal - • Resilience Design • Power – backhaul – security - trust • Need to be in Control

  9. Legal conditions used today • Ownership of the operator company has to be approved and no change in ownership is allowed until re-approved. The owner(s) shall guarantee the contract. Any transfer of shares, merger, demerger, change of capital etc. will need to be approved. • Any service defect in this kind of service provision – particular in extreme situations - may cost lives or put national security at risk. Definition of “Force majeure” is usually restricted and certain events are excluded altogether.

  10. Legal conditions used today (2) • Operator staff including sub-contractors must be security approved and have special employment contract reflecting the extraordinary service conditions i. e. no right to strike. • Extraordinary penalty regime for non-performance – also applicable in extreme situations.

  13. Conclusion • Dedicated spectrum is required • ‘Mission critical operations’ for PPDR organisations address situations where human life and goods (rescue operations, law enforcement) and other values for society are at risk, especially when time is a vital factor. • Harmonised spectrum will provide a multi-vendor market with industry investments, innovation and competition. • Harmonised dedicated spectrum is the goal.

  14. Who will decide ? • Politicians • Minister of Finance • Minister of Interior • Regulators • Chief’s • Peers

  15. What will convince them ? • Economics • Efficiency • Cost effective • Disasters • Societies vulnerability • Security

  16. How do we do it ? • Create set of solid arguments • Create group of ”convinced influencers” • Create ”PPDR Coalition” • TCCA, PSC-E, British APCO, FEU, ?? • Be ready for the next disaster  • User pressure • IT Security & Vulnerability

  17. TCCA Board decision • Initiative under umbrella of CCBG • ’Spectrumcoordinator’ • Lobby for sufficient harmonisedspectrum for PPDR at WRC (previous TCCA position as published)

  18. What can you do • User • Raise the issue with your top management • Have your top management talk to their management and to regulators and politicians. • PPDR Operator • Raise your voice with your regulator • Explan that mission critical operations require dedicated spectrum.
