Our connectivity to applications

• Easy and efficient




Application platforms offer services to multiple user organizations in EADS TETRA

VPNVirtual private

Networkfor application

• TCS API / Web Service Interface• AVL server• Unified messaging, SDS – SMS gateway• Voice mail • Database access, professional WAP• IP Packet data

Sharedapplication

servers




Fast and cost-efficient application integration through optimized platforms• TCS API (COM/DCOM) with widest range of

services especially for time-critical applications• TCS Web Service Interface for easy integration

of data applications• Standard OMA/MLP XML interface for AVL

clients through AVL server • IP Packet Data interface• Application interfaces utilize network wide

services of EADS TETRA network




TWISP – Benefits for All Parties• For end-user organization

– Information about successful implementations of the applications in other project

– Ensures that the application supplier has access for all TWISP support services and the latest material

• For network operator / network owner– Selected and verified application platforms as OEM products from

EADS– Makes it possible to demand that all applications will be

developed and verified according to EADS’s instructions– Information about successful implementations of the applications

in other project• For application developers

– Access for the latest support material, development tools and support services provided by EADS

– New business leads in the EADS TETRA networks– Joint marketing activities and material with EADS

• For EADS– Complementary products to fulfill our own product portfolio and

the customer needs– A powerful and controlled way to distribute confidential support

material and tools– Joint marketing activities and material with the application

developers– Demonstrations of the EADS TETRA functionality and

performance with the best in class applications




How to join TWISP?

• Requests for the membership of TWISP by e-mail to: [email protected]

• Fill and sign TWISP Application Form and post it to EADS• After evaluation of the application EADS may provide the

applicant with a TWISP Collaboration Agreement to be signed• Read, sign and return two pieces of the Collaboration

Agreement to:EADS Secure Networks OyTWISP AdministratorHiomotie 32FIN-00380 HelsinkiFinland

• EADS signs the Collaboration Agreements and returns one copy to the collaborator

• EADS provides the collaborator with a user name and a password to the TWISP extranet tool

• The partner has joined the EADS TWISP community and may start to benefit of its services




Operational use of applications is backed up from right terminals




Unique benefits- easy to use

• 2-sided design• Color display• IP55 protection class• Voice feedback• Innovative carrying concept• WAP over TETRA IP• XHTML color browser• Java platform for applications• Aliasing




Two-sided design – also for applications• Radio side optimised for

critical communication

• Phone side when display is needed




Computerise your terminal - JavaTM

• Open, public platform for developing customised applications to TETRA users’ needs, now available in EADS THR880i and TMR880i radios

• Applications can be downloaded to the radios throughout their lifetime

– Over the air– From a PC

• Built-in Java platform security




TMR880i, product high-lights• New, approved in Sweden

• Same user interface and features as in the handheld THR 880




Challenges with applications

Network capacity and structure needs to be mirrored against the operative picture to avoid overload on spot.

Applications does not work in Direct Mode

Release upgrades in system and terminals may affect the functionality of applications so standard solutions are preferred JAVA, WAP etc




Example of “home made” countrywide application from Finland

• Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK)

• Need to get measures from around 200 points all over Finland, also during crisis

Source: Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland




Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority

• Every station sending every 10 min to own area emergency center and STUK using TETRA IP. SDS as backup.
