Who is using TETRA ?

• 3,500,000 critical communications professionals using TETRA today ……………..

• 2014 saw another increase in terminal shipments over 2013 which had been the most successful year EVER

• Over 600,000 new and replacement terminals shipped last year

• Upward trend continuing with over 4,000,000 active terminals by 2017

Presentation on behalf of the TETRA + Critical Communications Association Examples from Motorola, Sepura, EADS, Teltronic

TETRA terminals include great data features on the radio itself — pull information — push information — alarms (callout). Big screens that can fit in your hand and are visible in every situation, including in sunshine.

Single device mission and business critical solution for both voice and data.

Critical Communications

June 2012

First Work Item created to enable LTE for Public Safety

Broad support and rapid start to the work

December 2012 Today

3GPP SA#58 selected key priorities for Release-12

Public Safety selected as key strategic area for Rel-12.

First set of features for Public Safety completed in Rel-12

Rel-13 work well underway

3GPP decided to commit to application standards for Public Safety (WG SA6)

MCPTT

• Inputs from– US DoC/FirstNet (The First Responder Network Authority)– NPSTC (National Public Safety Telecommunications Council)– The UK Home Office– TCCA– APCO (Association of Public Safety Communications Officials) – TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association)– OMA (Open Mobile Alliance)– ETSI - TCCE (TC TETRA and Critical Communications Evolution)

has opened a work item: DTR/TETRA-01203, User Requirements Specification Mission Critical Broadband Communications Part 2 Critical Communications Application.

Note - List taken from MCPTT WID


MCPTT Summary (1)• Push To Talk (PTT) group and PTT individual communications

involving the EPS and external networking and application interaction;

• Services, including talker identification, location, and emergency alerting for mission critical voice communication;

• Voice/audio quality;• Special privilege handling (For console interaction - e.g,

override, monitor, exception handling, etc);• Service availability;• Floor control, priority and pre-emption;• Performance, including call establishment times and

permission to talk request, to permission granted times;


MCPTT Summary (2)• Use of GCSE_LTE;• Use of Proximity Services (ProSe);• Interconnection with voice systems, including cellular and the

PSTN, as well as private/land mobile radio;• Security, including confidentiality of mission-critical voice

communications;• Charging/billing and system management considerations;• Management of Mission Critical PTT communications;• Presence service, including interaction with other

communication services.

MCPTT should aim at re-using existing, standardized functionality when possible and justified


Standardisation

• Standardisation has been a key element in the success of TETRA. The Association is keen for that to continue into the future

• Pre-standard andother proprietary offerings

• Multiple standards !


Spectrum

“ The robustness, availability and security required for the communications needs of Mission Critical Operations cannot be ensured by relying on commercial radio providers. The view of the PPDR community is that it is essential for government’ organisations to control enough radio spectrum harmonised in one global range in order for them to deliver these critical services to society. Consequently, the entire sector encourages Governments, through their Regulators, to recognise the societal needs for effective PPDR services and to work to ensure one global harmonized broadband range at WRC-15. “


What’s happening in the UK ?

Ongoing procurement


VIRVE: TETRA continues & data develops in parallel Time window for

managed transition from TETRA

20152010 20252020

Commercial complementary data access + MVNO

Critical LTE data+voice(LTE Rel 12+) available

LTE operating capability via MVNO

Non-critical LTE voice

TETRA voice and data

TETRA Rel7 Dual homing + LTE voice phase 1

TETRA Rel8/9 LTE voice phase 2+3TBS2 TB3 renewal

TETRA Rel6 DXT3

Need for dedicated data solution

TETRA-capabilities

Broadband capability


My view of TETRA and PMR going forward

• Here for many years to come !• Still the premier voice and data technology

installed by critical communications users in over 130 countries

• Major implementations ongoing• Yet more contracts !• Record shipments• Ongoing development• Clear evolution path
