12 TCCA timeline The TETRA Association is of the opinion that for mission critical data there will remain a requirement for dedicated spectrum. TETRA currently offers voice and mission critical data. Without any viable alternative to voice it will be available for at least the next ten years. The only dedicated spectrum that is available today and likely to be available during that time for mission critical data points to TEDS. Non mission critical data throughout the same period may utilise a commercial service. Additional spectrum could become available for first data and then data plus voice in the longer term. The TETRA Association believes that any investment in TETRA today and going forward is protected given these timescales and lack of both spectrum and the desired functionality.
