SWOT analysis TETRA

• Mature, proven and well-established

• Excellent spectrum efficiency

• Globally availability and harmonised spectrum

• Unrivalled critical comms features, e.g.:

• Security, encryption and authetication

• Call setup time

• Voice call feature set

• Low speed packet & short data services

• Interoperability

• No high speed data

• Difficult to interface with other technologies

• Relatively high cost of ownership

• Misperception that TETRA is only for public safety

• Continue to capitalise on strengths in existing and

potential future vertical market segments not requiring

broadband data

• TETRA still an evolving standard with growth potential

• No other technology will reach this standard before 2025

• Transport, Utilities and Industry will lean on TETRA

minimum until 2040, similar as analogue is still used

• Other digital trunked PMR standards squeezing voice &

short data applications markets‚ from below

• Suitable standarised and developed features and

services such as LTE or 5G or further might squeeze

voice & data bearer application markets, from the top in

longer term

SWOT analysis TEDS

• Second generation of mature standard-based TETRA

• Excellent spectrum efficiency

• Availability of 25kHz–150 kHz spectrum is easy

• Co-work with/ upgrade from TETRA systems

• Security, resilience and availability features

• Similar data rate than LTE per 25kHz

• High coverage pattern compared to LTE

• Wideband – not broadband – data rate

• Misperception that TETRA is only for public safety

• Utilize high security and full quality of service control

• Existing and potential future vertical market segments

needing more data traffic

• Utilize different available frequency bands (UHF 400 and

800MHz, VHF)

• Utilize high coverage due to frequency range

• Lack of spectrum for 50kHz–150kHz spectrum in some

countries

• Suitable standardized and developed features and

services such as LTE or 5G or further might squeeze

voice & data bearer application markets from “the top” in

longer term




| 10

SWOT analysis LTE

• High data rate

• IP bearer

• Development in progress

• Required frequency spectrum for private network is huge

• Security und QoS in public networks not given

• As yet unproven functionality and security for critical

communication

• Low coverage compared to TETRA

• Mobile communication standard, providing service with

best effort only

• Complex planning

• Could in long term take away some market share from

TETRA and TEDS installations

• After standardization, replacing public safety networks

• Lack of adequate available spectrum in appropriate

bands

• Spectrum not available for Transport, Utilities and

Industry

• Next technology 5G is still under development




| 11

SWOT analysis DMR

• Open standard

• Backward compatible with analogue installations

• Many terminals supporting VHF

• Simulcast usage

• Limited IOP specification and process

• Vendor lock

• Limited/no support of full duplex calls

• Lack of mission and safety critical communication

• Very low data rate

• Limited number of terminals and calls can be handled

• No trunk support in Tier 2

• Low cost solution for rural coverage

• Tier 3 can be used where TETRA is not applicable

• Competition with PMR over cellular systems

• Tier 2 installations not designed for high availability

• High power consumption, high operating costs



| 12

SWOT analysis DAMM TetraFlex®

• Combines benefits of TETRA, TEDS, DMR & LTE

• Intelligent integration, scalable and flexible

• Open architecture allows easy interfacing to other radio

technologies, applications or phone systems

• Utilizing LTE, Wi-Fi and other IP already today

• Distributed architecture

• Prepared for future technologies

• Low total cost of ownership

• Physical technology limitations

• Proprietary interfaces from other technologies

• Continue to capitalize on strengths in existing and

potential future vertical market segments not requiring

broadband data

• Prepared to supply Transport, Utilities and Industry

market even beyond 2040

• Overcome market uncertainty with an open and

integrateable solution

• DMR Tier 2 technologies claiming for critical

communication

• Upcoming standards and developments such as 5G
