• Industry needs volume
• GSM, Internet,
• The WW success of Tetra does exactly that!

18
Update on the TETRA market and standard
19
Milestones in the TETRA standard

• 1990 standardisation start
• 1991 standard based on TDMA technology with 4
  timeslot and 25 kHz band
• 1995 standard first phase completed
• 1996 frequency armonisation in Europe
  (CEPT/NATO)
• 1997 standard second phase completed
• 1998 first systems installation
• 2000 presence of 32 TETRA network in 21
  countries

20
Range of product

• Availability of infrastructure and terminals with
  frequency bands
• 380 400 MHz
• 410 430 MHz
• 450 470 MHz (Planned)
• 806 921 MHz

21
TETRA 800 MHz

• Marconi, Motorola, Nokia and Simoco are already
  committed in developing and manufacturing TETRA
  infrastructure and terminals in 800 MHz frequency
  band.
• Launch of TETRA 800 MHz system took place during
  the 2nd TETRA world congress in Amsterdam in
  November 1999
• Launch in China of 800 MHz TETRA system took
  place in Beijing in January 2000.
• 1st TETRA 800 MHz system is being set-up in Saudi
  Arabia

22
TETRA start in the US market

• APCO 25 steering Group has accepted to produce a
  modified version of TETRA as TDMA option for
  phase 2 of Project 25

23
TETRA success is based on

• A truly open standard
• Future evolution guaranteed by ETSI
• 8 indipendent manufacturers at the moment
• Coexistance with analogue systems
• High degree of security mechanisms
• Several frequency bands availability
• Supporting Direct Mode (DMO)

24
Interoperability Conformance
25
Objectives of Technical Forum
26
What is interoperability?
The ability to communicate from several brands of
terminals on all manufacturers infrastructure,
via the air interface.
Brand C Terminal
Brand A infrastructure
Precondition Equipment is developed according to
the ETSI TETRA VD standard.
27
The IOP WG

• IOP WG members
• Simoco
• Motorola
• Marconi
• Nokia
• RS
• Cleartone
• And soon IFR
• Tele Danmark, Development

Work of IOP WG. Development TIP document via
mutual negotiations on protocol implementations
and exchange of confidential development
information. Test sessions where features are
check and documented.
IOP WG is a closed WG due to the confidential
nature of information exchange. All members are
working on a voluntary basis
28
TIP life cycle
29
TIP conformance WG
Goal To insure automated IOP testing of terminals
and Infrastructure by use commercially available
test instruments.
Objective Investigate possibilities to make a
TIP test specification. Make an overview of
existing TBR35 test cases and possible
reuse. Investigate the possibility of making IOP
test cases in voluntary domain.
30

Application adaptation needs

• Fleet management/Command Control systems are
  typically country specific
• Data applications are often user organisation
  specific
• In a large Public Safety radio system the value
  of applications integration may be 30 to 50
  of total contract
• Telephony etc gateways may be country specific

41
Partnerships system integration

• Professional radio users have specific local
  needs in each country
• applications, data, dispatching, security
• operational working procedures
• user interfaces, language ...
• Understanding know-how needed
• Always opportunity for local partners in system
  integration

42
Opportunities to industry

• Manufacturing
• Software development
• System integration
• Technical services
• etc ...

43
Manufacturing opportunities

• Dispatch console systems
• Telephonw network gateway switches
• Mobile data terminals
• End-to-end encryption modules
• Complete mobile hand held radios
• Terminal installation kits for
• vehicles, trains, boats

• Packet data application software and
• Short data application software for
• mobile data terminals
• server computers, Internet, WAP,
• Network management systems applications
• Billinf systems
• Customer care systems

  development and project partnerships
• Contribution of local industry is vitally
  important and most welcome

49
Discussion on TETRA interfaces

• Presentation of TETRA standard interfaces
  available today
• How can they be used
• Presentation of options for additional interfaces

50
Additional interfaces

• Option 1 Have an interface standardized within
  ETSI
• Option 2 Develop an interface in country
• Option 3 Upgrade one manufacturers solution to
  standard
• Option 4 Adopt TETRA standard as is.
  Manufacturers in TETRA MoU will work with local
  companies to make it possible for them to
  participate in global TETRA market.

51
Option 1 (ETSI)

• Pro
• Will be in line with other Tetra interfaces
• Proven process
• Con
• Time to complete
• Efforts required (Tetra standardization is being
  finalized)
• Not practical - consensus
• Interoperability testing and conformance testing

52
Option 2 (in Country)

• Pro
• Process Control
• Con
• Time required
• Misalignment with ETSI standard
• Interoperability and conformance
• Would not allow local manufacturers to enter
  market outside China

53
Option 3 (Adopt)

• Pro
• Appears fast and easy
• Con
• No competition in foreseeable future
• Will slow down TETRAs progress
• Interoperability and Conformance issues

54
Option 4 (Recommended)

• Pro
• Much more flexible solution
• Fastest route for local companies
• Enables more local companies
• Enables global market access

55
How to have an Additional interface?

• Option 1 Have an interface standardized within
  ETSI
• Option 2 Develop an interface in country
• Option 3 Upgrade one manufacturers solution to
  standard
• Option 4 Adopt TETRA standard as is.

56
Recommendation

• The Tetra MoU recommends to adopt the ETSI TETRA
  standard as it is.
• The Tetra MoU recommends its manufacturer members
  to work with local Chinese industry to enable
  them to participate in the global Tetra market.
