Taking the broadband agenda forward
• CCBG’s goals are to:– enable all Critical Comms users to access their information systems, apps.
etc. reliably & at broadband speeds on their professional mobile devices - wherever they are & whenever they have the need.
– ensure that future Critical Comms BB solutions meet the particular needs of Critical Comms users - just as reliably as today’s voice & narrowband data services are delivered by current technology, e.g. TETRA.
• Our tasks in coordination with other skateholders:– drive the standardisation of common, global, mobile BB technology
solutions for Critical Comms users.
– lobby regulators etc. for appropriate - & as far as possible harmonised - spectrum for deployment of Critical Comms BB networks.

• Technology: LTE is the chosen technology for radio access, evolution towards IP is a prerequisite… – Available on dedicated infratructure
– PMR services can also be implemented on commercial networks (with no guaranteed resources, and important overload risks)
• Spectrum: we still need to lobby for dedicated frequencies taking into account all opportunities 700MHz, 400MHz etc…– We need dedicated spectrum even if we will be able to use shared infrastructures or
commercial operators infrastructures
• Budgets: Develop a solution we can afford
• Alternative delivery approaches: – MVNO, public operators, satellite
– We need a common framework to avoid proprietary solutions (need participations)
Our key issues…
The Critical Communications Broadband Group (CCBG) is a Working Group of the TETRA & Critical Communications Association (TCCA)
• Aimed at including support of fundamentally required features for critical comms applications in future standards releases, e.g. for:
– Group working
– Direct mode
– Resilience & security
– Speech as well as data services
Technology Standardisation

Concept Roadmap & Timescales
2005 2012 2025/30?
• Commercial networks will also still be used (e.g. for non-critical data) in a hybrid model
• Commercial network could be used in a MVNO model to improve coverage and resiliency
• This roadmap does not include service/application layer standardisation process

What’new
• LTE is becoming a reality
– LTE 400MHz experiment in France, 2 sites, 4 vehicles, a control room
• By 2020 LTE technology for professional users including public
safety will be available
– On dedicated infrastructure
– On commercial networks
• But:
– LTE is not enough: we need a set of standard applications for voice as well as
for data
– How long will we develop different systems: TETRA, TETRAPOL, GSM-R ?
– Knowing they will become obsolete

What’s to do next
• Express interoperability/architecture needs
– On dedicated infrastructure
– On commercial networks
– Other media (satellites etc…)
– Migration needs
• Application part
– Define how and who will make the standard and how the users and
operators will be better involved in the process
– Define a common environment so that applications can be easily
developped not only by actual industrial actors (open application market)
– Define minimum set of application for interoperability

Do all countries have the same needs?
• Geography is different
• Actual systems are different (TETRA/TETRAPOL/GSM-R)
• We need to define a set of common needs taking our difference
into account…
• In order to have real interoperable systems

Real operational opportunities!
• Powerful video applications
– Remote control of cameras
– Sharing videos through tablet
• Reuse of already existing IP applications
• We still need to work on application part!!!
– To improve these first platforms
– To take into account emergency call (112) management
evolution (multimedia calls, automatic calls, increasing number
of calls)
