  1. Multi-vendor interoperability with TETRA TETRA Baltic States Conference Riga October 2005 Risto Toikkanen Board member / TETRA MoU Association 10.10.2005

  2. TETRA interoperability TETRA is the first and so far only digital PMR standard that has created an open and competed multi-vendor market Contents: • National and international dimensions • Multi-vendor market • Process to achieve certified interoperability • Achievements until today • Conclusions

  3. Interoperability concepts • Organisational interoperability • Between agencies • Between people • Regional interoperability • Between regions • Across national borders • Technical interoperability • Between equipment “Capability for agencies to communicate with each other” “Capability for peer agencies to communicate across borders” “Process to ensure that equipment from multiple vendors are compatible”

  4. Organisational interoperability: solutions Operating procedures • Agreements • Training Dedicated radio channels • Common technical specification • Agreed procedures Radio spectrum harmonisation • In some form this is a must Technology harmonisation – standards • Necessary to gain radio compatibility Shared networks • By far the most efficient tool • Requires high-tech system to ensure privacy • Both operational benefit and cost benefit BEST RESULT

  5. Regional interoperability: solutions 1. Political & organisational readiness 2A. Conventional technical measures • Extra equipment like cellphones • Extended coverage across border or repeaters • Control room interconnect by wireline • Radio swap between control rooms e.g. Belgium & France • Radio swap between users 2B. Network interconnect • TETRA Inter-System Interface (ISI) • Three-country pilot Belgium – Germany – The Netherlands • Cross-network PMR functionality, first time • True cross-agency & cross-border opportunity

  6. Technical IOP: TETRA Interoperability certification “Process to ensure that equipment from multiple vendors are compatible” • Problem-free operation • Wanted functionality • In practice it is about protocol conformance TETRA Interoperability • The TETRA Interoperability (IOP) concentrates on technical interoperability certification of multi-vendor TETRA equipment. • Successful IOP certification is fundamental in creation of open multi-vendor market. • Open multi-vendor market is fundamental for the success of TETRA - and it has happened

  7. Benefits of open multi-vendor market User benefits • wide choice of compatible certified terminals • specialised product for special needs • continuous and genuine competition • less dependency - lower risk of market disturbances Industry benefits • wider market, bigger volumes • more possibility to invest – faster product creation • longer lifetime of market TETRA MoU Association runs the IOP certification process to guarantee open multi-vendor market

  9. TETRA IOP Certification process ACCEPTED into OPERATION (Also need CE mark or TA) STANDARDS CERTIFICATE TMO AI group DMO AI group ISI group PEI group MoU MoU Operator/User Association Technical Forum Members’ Enquiry Certification Body ISCTI *) – Rome/Italy approx 12 suppliers TEST PLANS TIP SPECS *) Instituto Superiore delle Comunicazioni e tecnologie dell'Informazione

  10. TETRA IOP achievements (1) • TETRA Interoperability Profile (TIP) documents available to members • in total 28 TIP specifications published by today • TETRA Interoperability Test Plan documents available to members • in total 15 Test Plan documents published See list of documents in the handout material

  11. TETRA IOP achievements (2) • Certification test sessions arranged at manufacturer’s premises to run the test cases specified in the Test Plans • TETRA IOP Certificates are public documents and published at the TETRA MoU website • 69 certificates published in 2004 • 16 certificates published during 1Q 2005, 7 during 2Q Most customers today require their equipment supplier to provide IOP certificates on the features they purchase

  12. TETRA IOP achievements (3) Tested products from: • Cleartone • DeTeWe/FWK • Frequentis • IFR (tester) • Marconi/OTE • Motorola • Niros • Nokia/EADS • Rohde & Schwarz • Rohill • Simoco/Sepura • Teltronic • Thales Certificates at: www.tetramou.com TETRA IOP certification results • 7 companies have received TETRA infrastructure certificates • 9 companies have received TETRA terminal certificates in trunked mode • 6 companies have received TETRA DMO certificates THE AMOUNT OF CERTIFICATES VARIES BETWEEN COMPANIES – AND IS GROWING - see status lists in handout package

  13. Speed of innovation Who else can do this – TETRA already does: • Which other PMR technology delivers handsets with integral GPS receiver today? • Which other PMR technology delivers handsets with 65 000 colour display today? • Which other PMR technology delivers handsets with web & WAP browsers today? Quick questionnaire in TETRA seminar in Oslo March 2005 revealed close to 30 new TETRA terminal models being launched during the last 3 years Only open competition can boost this amount of product innovations and R&D investment

  14. Conclusions New dimensions of cooperation: • Between agencies: shared network best tool • Across borders: Common European standard TETRA created multi-vendor market for PMR: • True Interoperability is reality • Today in air interfaces (trunked & DMO) • Tomorrow in network interfaces (ISI) • Customers benefit in • Price competition • Wide selection of equipment to choose • TETRA demonstrates fastest product development in PMR business
