Content What is TETRA data What is TETRA data used for Tools for TETRA data usage Examples of innovative use Secure Mobile Virtual Network Operator 3
What makes TETRA data unique Voice and data in same terminal All mission Critical features in same equipment Dispatching Security Evolution roadmap in line with the mainstream but integrating mission critical features and functionality
Why controlled commercial services for critical data? Commercial services (GSM, GPRS, 3G, ) are not always available when the need is highest, they can collapse under heavy load: Several examples: London Metro bombing, Madrid bombing Information security is not under user s own control Commercial broadband services (WiFI, WiMAX, LTE) suit well as complementary high speed data services, but not feasible as the only one. TETRA serves as mission critical always available wide area voice and data backbone, which can be complemented by other technologies
TETRA data evolution Field operations call for data applications SMVNO TETRA + LTE TETRA status messages TETRA IP packet data TETRA short data messages TETRA Enhanced Data Service Being always connected Precise situation awareness Rapid information sharing More effective field commanding More effective daily routines Voice Data Data Data Data
Why, What End-to-end Voice & Data Know See Sense
Development of MODERN operational eras Mission Critical Voice and Data in your pocket! Java WAP 10 Menu SCAN Flexibility to efficiently introduce new applications Efficient, tailored applications in the terminal
Status Messaging Crew 1: "At substation 12" Crew 2: "Free" Crew 3: "Lunch" Status message TETRA Network
Automatic Vehicle Location Situational awareness Database interrogation Telemetry Pictures SDS TETRA Network
Short data specialties Concatenated text messages long messages possible for applications Secondary Common Control Channels more SDS capacity from the TETRA carrier Dedicated data channels own data capacity SDS priority profiles more important data traffic first SDS also in Direct Mode Operation

TEDS in a nutshell TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS) TEDS solution Allows always-on high speed data services for mission-critical communication Integrated to TETRA up to 100 kbps net speed, user experience comparable to GPRS TEDS is technically TETRA Release 2 High Speed Data standard Wireless data solution for wide-area use Extremely spectrum efficient
Adapts speed when necessary TEDS: Gross Bit Rates Modulation Channel Type 25 khz 50 khz 100 khz 150 khz Л/4-DQPSK 36 4-QAM 38 77 154 230 16-QAM 77 154 307 461 64-QAM 115 230 461 691 4-slots (kbit/s)
Data range TEDS Wide-area coverage Data throughput (gross) TEDS data 64QAM / 50kHz TEDS data 16QAM / 50kHz 100kbit/s (230kbit/s) 50kbit/s (154kbit/s) TEDS data 64QAM / 25kHz TEDS data 16QAM / 25kHz 40kbit/s (115kbit/s) 20kbit/s (77kbit/s) TETRA voice + data 10kbit/s (36kbit/s) MSPD 3kbit/s (9kbit/s) SSPD Cell range 100%
Operator/Owner benefit: TEDS on 50 khz channels provides efficiency TEDS much more efficient compared to TETRA 1 Packet Data Less spectrum Enables large scale use of data applications Less HW and transmission capacity Cost benefits (CAPEX/IMPEX/OPEX) To deliver 100 Kbit/s data payload per site you need 8 to 10 TETRA MSPD BS radio transceivers, and 200 to 250 khz spectrum OR One TEDS BS radio transceiver, and 50 khz spectrum 0 50 100 150 200 khz

Database inquiry for Police An officer can request driver and/or vehicle information from a database server using drivers licence number and/or vehicle registration plate (SDS messaging). 27
Special features also available Data also in special terminals Ex terminals Man-down alarm If user does not respond to Local alert, the radio automatically triggers an emergency call and sends its position to Dispatcher and / or colleagues Service team
TETRA needs = Mission Critical needs
TETRA Terminals all data compatible TETRA data radio TETRA data module Ex Gateway repeater TEDS LTE router
Conclusions Technology is no longer the limiting factor for mission critical field operations A lot of TETRA data features available and new are coming, typically requested by customers with mature networks. TEDS LTE integration Re-think your communication concept it s time for independent mission critical simultaneous voice and data
