INTEROPERABILITY (IOP) FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
By Kevin SwannBusiness Development Director
Slide 2
Objectives: Paradigm shift in choice TETRA:
- solid foundations- not the end goal- need for future flexibility
Two areas of software IOP:- bank end- front end
Rise of software importance:- key to the future
Choice of hardware v’s choice of software in:– handsets / mobiles– base stations / repeaters – networks / infrastructure– ISSI
Slide 3
TETRA – IOP Back End
- I.P
- SIP & RTP
Slide 4
A. IOP Back End
RNC NIF PSTN GATEWAY ISSI/ISI KMS OTAR FIPS
Slide 5
TETRA BACK END IOP
APCO P25, DMR & SDR
WCDMA or GSM / GPRS
Secure TETRA through ISSI/ISI FIPS with codec module? OTAR, KMS
Slide 6
B. Front End (ignore operator issues)
Mobile Phones
AnalogueUK
GSM900
GSM1900
AMPSUSA
GSM1800
DuelbandIOP
CDMA
TribandIOP
Hardware/Software Hardware/Software Hardware/Software80% / 20% 35% / 65% 20% / 80%+
QuadbanIOP
Slide 7
Front End – Digital PMR / PAMR / LMR
TETRA• TIPS → Tetra II (back compatible)
APCO P25 (backward compatible to analogue) • PIPS / PCP’s • APCO P25 II
Europe - DMR (possibly USA ++)
- DPMR
Japan – TETRA – Like but not IOP
Slide 8
Military Requirements:
Supreme Security
Home Land IOP
Multinational IOP
TETRA / APCO Features
Slide 9
Answer = Software Defined Radio (SDR)
SDR waveforms are key
Implement TETRA and APCO P25 & DMR onto SDR platforms
Then unique waveforms for special requirements
Slide 10
To Action This:
Powerful hardware platform
90%+ of radio integral value = software
New waveforms continuously
STRUCTURE OF SOFTWARE ESSENTIAL
Slide 11
Core Service Means:
Upgradeable software Fully exercisable software Win 32 platform Portability host SDR future possible Built upon TETRA foundations
Slide 12
Summary: Today the choice of system and product is switching
from hardware centric to software centric
IOP is a pre-requisite
Future planning is essential
Build TETRA NETWORKS WITH CONFIDENCE but at every stage think SOFTWARE IOP
