  1. MARKET POSITIONING OF TETRA Andrea Festelli Marconi Mobile

  2. Agenda • TETRA and public cellular systems • Comparison with other PMR technologies • TETRA market • State-of-the-art technology • The future

  3. ? ? ? ? Frequently Asked Questions • Why do I need TETRA instead of public cellular networks (GSM, GSM-R, UMTS)? • Why do you say that TETRA is the winning PMR technology? • Is TETRA a mature technology? • Which are the relations between TETRA and UMTS?

  4. !

  5. Group communications • Point-to-multipoint voice and data including many supporting features such as • Unlimited number of included users • Unlimited site extension • Dynamic Group Number Assignment (DGNA) • Late entry • Talking party identification • ...

  6. Control room and dispatching operations • Focus on communications between radio terminals and control room/dispatcher operators • Call Authorised by Dispatcher (CAD) • Ambience/Discreet listening • Dynamic services management • ...

  7. Secure communications • Multiple security schemes and algorithms • Authentication of User / Terminal • Authentication of the Infrastructure • Encryption: • Air Interface Encryption • End-to-End Encryption • OTAR- Over The Air Re-keying • Security Management • Disabling of stolen radios This is very confidential!

  8. Communicate also when out of network radio coverage • Fully digital trunked (TMO) and direct (DMO) modes of operation • Dual watch • Repeater • Gateway • DMO adds fringe or out of coverage area communications • DMO provides communications within coverage at times of capacity limitations

  9. And the professional mobile specific features continue • Emergency calls • Fast call set-up • Concurrent voice and data • “Real time” short data services including status messages • Further PMR supplementary services: call priority, access priority, area selection, ...

  10. UMTS GSM/GSM-R TETRA features differentiation from public networks TETRA Features Group/Broadcast Call Dynamic Group Number Assignment Call authorized by dispatcher Ambience and Discreet listening Authentication of the Infrastructure End-to-end encryption OTAR Physical disabling of stolen radios Direct Mode DMO Gateway/Repeater Fast Call Set-up Emergency calls (preemptive) Short Data Service Packet Mode Data Circuit Mode Data Concurrent Voice & Data Bit-rate on Demand Priority calls  GSM-R with limitations - - - - - - - - - -  GSM-R   GPRS    GPRS  GSM-R - - - - - - - - - - - ?      ?              (real time)     

  11. TETRA and other PMR technologies TETRA is: • Digital • TDMA based • Open standard

  12. vs. analogue Digital • Constant voice quality • Higher data rates • Efficient and effective secure communications and authentication

  13. TDMA vs FDMA Spectrum kHz 25 C H 1 C H 2 C H 3 C H 4 CH 1 Carrier 1 Carrier 1 12.5 CH 2 Carrier 2 Time To To TDMA FDMA

  14. TDMA vs FDMA • Bitrate on demand • Higher data rates • Simultaneous voice and data • Simplex terminal for duplex communications • One TRX to manage four traffic channels

  15. TETRA is a real open standard • TErrestrial Trunked RAdio (TETRA) is an open standard which is defined by the ETSI to meet the needs of the most demanding professional mobile radio users. • It has been fully accepted by all the European and many other Administrations. • ETSI has started the work program for TETRA release 2

  16. Interoperability certification • The Interoperability Certificate (IOP) assures that various manufacturers infrastructure and terminals can indistinctly operate on any TETRA network • The various functionality tested and approved are summarized in public tables • Tests are executed by an independent accredited test house: up to now Teledanmark (Danish operator)

  17. TETRA and APCO 25 • Project 25 is a Digital Radio Project that involves both APCO and TIA members, in ANSI/TIA Standardisation • Project 25 • Phase 1 is 12.5kHz FDMA • Phase 2 has FDMA (6.25 kHz) and TDMA (12.5 and 25 kHz) components • TETRA has been selected early in 2000 as TDMA option for the phase 2 (IMBE codec and DES encryption) • APCO 25 and TETRA are the only two digital standards for PMR originated from international standardisation institutes that are being deployed across the world

  18. PMR technologies TETRA iDEN TETRAPOL ASTRO EDACS Trunked/Conventional Trunked Trunked Trunked Trunked/ Conventional Trunked/ Conventional Digital/Analogue Digital Digital Digital Digital/ Analogue Digital/ Analogue TDMA/FDMA TDMA TDMA FDMA FDMA FDMA Direct Mode Operation YES NO YES YES YES Enhanced Direct Mode Features YES NO NO NO NO Notes - 800 MHz and 1,5 GHz frequency bands - - - Open/Proprietary Open Proprietary Proprietary Proprietary Proprietary

  19. Truly multi-vendor technology • Currently: • 10 independent manufacturers of TETRA network infrastructure • 7 independent manufacturers of TETRA terminals

  20. Competition benefits • Competitive prices • Competitive quality • Innovative products and solutions • Wide choice of products and Applications Developers

  21. PMR market trends Total value of TETRA awarded contracts worldwide exceeds 2800 US$m The Worldwide Digital Radio Installed Base (excluding iDEN) - 1st January 2001 3% 14% 36% TETRAPOL APCO25 18% EDACS TETRA Other 29% Source: IMS - June 2001

  22. PMR market trends The Worldwide Digital Radio Installed Base (excluding iDEN) - 1st January 2005 3% 10% 32% 48% TETRAPOL APCO25 7% EDACS TETRA Source: IMS - June 2001 Other

  23. Who buys TETRA? Worldwide Tetra awarded contracts by segment Update 10/2001 (total value over 2800 US$m) 2% 1% 3% 17% 39% Public safety Public access Transport Military 38% Utilities Local government Source: Marconi internal info

  24. Customer trends • Public safety and security services • EUROPE: TETRA is the consolidated open standard technology for PSS radio mobile systems. Almost all European Countries are using (or have plans to use) TETRA • WORLD WIDE: interest is consistently increasing and first projects are starting in all regions • Transport and utilities (Civil Users) • Projects in this segment partially suffered the spectrum issues for civil TETRA in the past but the solution to these problems is on the way

  25. TETRA growth outside Europe: China • On April 2001 TETRA has been adopted as national standard by Chinese administration. Most of the allocated radio channels are in the 800MHz frequency band • First tenders for TETRA have already been issued and assigned for transport (railways and subway companies) and public safety applications • TETRA market growth is envisaged for a long duration in China

  26. TETRA growth outside Europe: USA • TETRA adopted as basis of a 4-slot • TDMA system for Project 25 Phase II • MOU proposal includes use of DVSI IMBE codec, • DES encryption and Phase I FDMA interoperability • TR-8 formulating committee (TR-8.14) established • to develop ANSI/TIA standard • TR-8.14 is working on two variants: • Standard forPublic Safetywith changes • Standard forNon Public Safetywithoutchanges to codec or encryption • Shell Standards in draft form, with ongoing work, to complete during 2001 • North American TETRA Forum set up, providing support from users

  27. TETRA is state-of-the-art

  28. TETRA Infrastructure WAP and Bluetooth on TETRA Network Management Center Content Provider WAP Terminal IP WAP GW Internet Database LAN Server IP WAP Server IP Corporate Intranet Switching/ RoutingNetwork IP IP GPS Bluetooth Control Room Server IP IP Voice/IP Dispatcher

  29. The future • UMTS is the future of cellular systems • TETRA is the future of PMR systems • TETRA and UMTS are complementary and will offer integrated services: TETRA release 2 is the answer

  30. Thank you
