Ist Indian TETRA ConferenceNew Delhi8th, February,2006, New Delhi Evolving Market for Digital Trunking
TBI / Vspectra - profile Our Overseas Partners are Global Leaders • An ISO 9001:2000 certified Radio Communication Co. • Engaged in System Engg, Integration & implementation • Over 100 Man Years of RF Industry Experience • All India and SAARC Presence • Strong OEM Partnerships
Discussion Points • Trends of radio evolution in India • Market segmentation • Migration to digital • Advantage TETRA
Evolution 2000 1980 1990 2010 FUNCTIONALITY TETRA Hybrid Trunked EDACS/ APCO25* APCO16/ MPT1327 SmarTrunk-II 5-tone/DTMF/MDC1200 Open Channel (Broadcast) BUILD XTAL Controlled Synthesized (Fixed Spacing) Synthesized (Prog. Spacing)
Market Segmentation Market Segmentation
KEY VERTICAL MARKETS Market Segmentation
Market Growth Growth Primarily in Govt. Sector • Defense- DRTS • Police Modernization - New Generation Conventional Radios for States - Digital Radio Trunking for Large Cities • Railways for various new applications - Conventional Radios - GSM –R for Trunk Routes and Long Haul - TETRA for Suburban Railway
Adoption Status- Radio Trunking PAMR EDACS 400 MHz APCO16 MPT 800 MHz HYBRID TETRA
TETRA Opportunities CRPF 400 MHz ARMY 400 MHz GUJARAT 800 MHz ASSAM 800 MHz AIRPORTS 800 MHz AIRPORTS 800 MHz JHARKHAND 400 MHz JHARKHAND 400 MHz KARNATAKA 800 MHz
Spectrum Issues • Planning • NFAP 2002 • A very commendable Job by Wireless Planning Cell • Seldom thoroughly referred to by decision makers • Where is the spectrum for Trunking? • The NFAP says 800 MHz – we all know that • But it also says 400 MHz – which very few know. • International Conformity • Europe example • NATO vacated 380 – 400 MHz for TETRA • Is there anything that WE can do for India?
Market & Competition APCO25 GSM Long Haul Railways CDMA iDN™ Public Access (large clients) Public Safety Military Public Access (small clients) GSM-R
Myths - Tetra • Expensive: TETRA > APCO25 • Hybrid Systems • Overall package with terminals is cheaper • Coverage • TETRA: Low Power = More cells = more $$ • Suitability for Railways: GSM-R > TETRA • GSM-R more cost effective • Can use low $ Terminals (“cell phones”) in GSM-R • Can Lease capacity from existing operators • Railways applications on GSM-R only • UIC considers ETCS is possible with GSM-R only.
About Hybrid Systems • Weaknesses in existing Hybrids • Migration to digital is not seamless • Existing VHF/ UHF systems are not integrated • Integrates to a particular APCO16 system only • Analog compatible TETRA • Merge MPT1327 and/or plain VHF/UHF • Mixed Talkgroups but no change in TETRA Air Interface • Advanced features: Signaling Translation
Adoption Strategy • Spectrum Allocation • ITU Support • recommendations to regulatory Authorities • Marketing Activities • TETRA MOU Support • Involve Local policy makers: DCPW, RDSO /IR Board • Newsletters, invite to TWC and other TETRA developments • Industry Support • Promote Vertical Specific applications like AVLS, Data Transactions, SCADA, Train Control etc. • Partnering with Allied firms for GIS, SCADA RTU etc
