  1. Current Status of TETRA and the Way Forward Ali Helenius Hungarian TETRA Forum Budapest, April 18th

  2. Agenda • TETRA 1 • TETRA 2 • TETRA status today • The next step • Evolution principle

  3. TETRA 1 • Comprehensive global digital PMR standard by ETSI • Standardisation during 1990’s, first deployments 1997 • Originally targeted for analogue PMR replacement, and improving security & offering advanced PMR functionalities • Fitting needs of traditional PMR user segments : public safety, transportation, utilities, industry • Key content of the standard • Voice + Data functionalities for PMR users • Air Interface, Inter System Interface • Security

  4. TETRA Interoperability • Interoperability required to guarantee compatibility of equipments within multi-vendor environment, and properly working end-to-end functionalities • Scope : terminal-network and network-network interfaces • TCCA in charge of the interoperability process • TETRA Interoperability Profile specifications (TIP) • Interoperability test plans • Interoperability certification process • First interoperability certificates granted 1999 • ~20 interoperability test sessions organized 2012

  5. 3 1 2 TETRA 2 Additions Integrated TEDS for high speed data services Enhanced cell radius for Air-Ground-Air LIP for advanced automatic location services • Secured network • Investment • Optimised total • cost of ownership • Optimised total • cost of ownership • Low cost coverage • Optimised total • cost of ownership Network owner • Easy deployment • Extreme spectrum • efficiency • Complete system solution • Spectrum efficiency • Easy AGA roll-out • Controlled AVL load • Terminal remote • configuration Operator New data applications Improve field command and situational awareness Reliable Air-to-Ground communication services Operational efficiency and situational awareness User

  6. TETRA and Other Technologiesvs Nationwide Public Safety Systems Functionality Ecosystem Nationwide

  7. European Public Safety Networks Key Nationwide TETRA Regional TETRA Nationwide TETRAunder construction Project in progresslikely to be TETRA Tetrapol No project known Q1 2013 status All in 380-400 MHz band 7

  8. TETRA Globally • TETRA is present at all continents • Annual TETRA equipment market value ~1BEur • Hundreds of networks deployed • 2+ million TETRA users • New TETRA projects launched all the time • Public Safety, Transportation, Utilities, Industry, Defence • The North American market is opening to TETRA technology, first networks are already in place in the USA and Canada

  9. The Next Step after TETRA 2 • PMR must evolve – TETRA 1&2 is not the end of the story • Basic PMR user requirements remain as they are • Will apply commercially existing LTE technology • Layered model : PMR/TETRA functionalities running on top of the LTE telecomms layer • Standardisation required for end-to-end functionalities and interoperability • Enables data applications and control centre integration • Targeting to support migration from three different existing narrowband PMR technologies : TETRA, TETRAPOL, P25

  10. The Next Step - Challenges • Broadband PMR standardisation efforts • global standard migrating both TETRA, TETRAPOL and P25 • several standardisation bodies • Europe – US co-ordination • Frequency allocation • PMR priority within LTE telecomms industry • LTE credibility for mission critical PMR voice service • Changing ecosystem, changing business models • Required investments

  11. Evolution Principle • Differencies between regions/countries • evolution timeline • frequency allocation • combining dedicated and commercial solutions • …

  12. Summary • Narrowband TETRA is offering advanced purpose-fit services for mission critical users globally • Further development of narrowband TETRA solutions guaranteed by large existing TETRA installed base and significant number of new projects introduced each year • LTE technology selected as the basis for the next step of PMR • Evolution from narrowband TETRA to LTE based Broadband PMR is a long process • Narrowband TETRA is expected to remain in operational use until 2025-2030
