TETRA Network
Agenda
• Market requirements
• Why a dedicated TETRA Network?
• How is TETRA addressing current market requirements?
• Evolution and future vision
• Data on TETRA - case story
Operational challenges between Commercial & Dedicated networks• Commercial networks by definition cater
for the mass market – consumers & business users – often many millions of users
• Mission critical organisations operating on a commercial network would compete with ordinary users for capacity
• A dedicated network allow organisations to control & manage the network and resource allocation
• Secure communications are increasingly needed for mission critical operations
End-User Empowerment
• Developed by ETSI • EU Emergency Services involved• Specific Choice vs. GSM or
proprietary solutions
• Open digital standard• Multiple Vendor Sourcing• High Pace of Innovation• Protection of Purchase Decision• Intersystem roaming (ISI)
• TETRA feature set• Wide Area Coverage• Dispatch Operation• Fast Call Set-Up• Encryption Services• Mobile Data
• Spectrum efficiency

Voice
Data
– Each agency operate their closed network – Individual user groups cannot “see” into each others’ networks
– Data tunnel across the network, creating a private & confidential link
– Functionality is available for both voice & data services
– Data can be encrypted by the application
Multi-slot Packet Data
• TETRA single-slot packet data – fulfilling much of today’s data transmission requirements
such as sending and receiving files and images
• Multi slot packet data (MSPD): up to four times faster• MSPD will enable mission critical services to respond
quicker and be more efficient • MSPD is part of the TETRA open standard
Service Interaction - Pre-emption
• Multi slot packet data offers the capability of pre-emption
• Allocated as dynamic single slot channels– Multi slot channels can be partially or completely resource
pre-empted
• The channels are pre-empted & expanded “on the fly”– No service interruption
• Pre-emption of dynamic single slot channel

Although MSPD is a big step forward for media-rich applications, it is not the end of the evolution
The future of communications …
• Technology maturation will result in applications explosion
• A much more user centric content that is device and context sensitive will rule
• Privacy, safety and security for any mission critical market will preside

An example from the real life
Hereford and Worcester Ambulance
• Part of the AIRWAVE digital radio network • Xxx vehicles• Direct communication with 6 hospitals• Population: more than 720.000• Geographical coverage: close to 4 000 square Km
TETRA IP data which saves lives
• Automatic vehicle location– enables control centre to appropriately direct and monitor
fleet location
• Remote programming of in-vehicle satellite navigation systems– helps crew to identify most efficient route
• In-vehicle data terminals – alert crews to emergencies– if the alert is not 'accepted' within 30 seconds the system
automatically pages the health professional
TETRA IP data which saves lives
• Status messaging– ability for crews to send status messages to control centre
eg. notifying arrival at scene
• IP data solution to transmit live biometrics information from patient’s side to Consultant at hospital – electrocardiogram, blood gas and blood pressure data to
facilitate remote prescription of powerful drugs complete – system automatically generates patient record forms enabling
prompt attention when the ambulance arrives at hospital– supports audit trail
Hereford and Worcester Ambulance Launch Mobile Data and Automatic Vehicle Location Press statement 9 February 2004
Saving lives The Ambulance Services Project Manager, Dominic Robertson, said
“This system will greatly enhance our ability to get to patients as quickly as possible and, just as importantly, to ensure that life-saving, clot busting drugs can be administered to the patient by the Paramedics as soon as possible.”
