The project is finished • A final evaluation report is available in english (digital) • Lessons Learned: • Keep it simple! • Keep it realistic! • Who pay’s for what? • Commitment • First big multidisciplinary succesful project • Cultural differences: C2000 is not a technical project!
Midlife update • Implementation software version 6.x • Consequences RoHS regulation • Discussing implementation of a National Fallback System (NFS)
Crossborder communication • 3 country pilot (2004) • GOAL: • to investigate how far on an operational level (mobile) communication facilities of the TETRA-based technologies are sufficient regarding cross-border cooperation
Inter System Interface (ISI) • Connecting the Tetra networks • NL / Belgium / Germany • Sweden / Norway • Western Balkan • Almost 20 countries now support the functional requirements for the ISI • Time for industry to get the ISI up and running!
Mobile broadband Promissing future Netcentric concept: • - All essential information at hand • - Different parties and levels involved in relief work share the same real time information
Mobile broadband • Most mobile data information will be mission critical • Dedicated network needed • Several technical solutions are possible • UMTS, CDMA, Wimax etc. • TEDS (Tetra 2) • Bandwidth
Mobile broadband • GDI project: Geo Data Infrastructure • - standardised infrastructure to share geo information • - price winning in 2007 • Eagle One: • - excercise in sharing geo data during crisis situations • - all parties involved shared access to each others information (firefighters, police, medical posts and government • - improved shared understanding of the crisis situation
Mobile broadband • Harmonising frequencies for public safety and security • Like we did for TETRA 380-400Mhz ! • Act now: digital dividend
