• Emergency Services> Police - Hong Kong

• ARIB (Association of Radio and Industries Businesses -Japan) select TETRA for their next generation of trunked mobile radio

Some Reasons for Choosing TETRA

• Frequency Efficiency

• Security for Critical Data

• Consistent Voice Quality

• Flexible Communication

• Automated Resource Management

> 4 channels in 25kHz TDMA

> Integrity through Forward Error Correction (FEC)

> Noise & distortion not degrading as in analogue

> Simultaneous Voice & Data and efficient Command & Control

> Increased capacity through trunking and bandwidth on demand

More Reasons for Choosing TETRA

• Support for Value Added Services

• High Service Availability

• Open Standard

> Transmission of hi resolution graphics for advertising

> Live streamed data for news bulletins

> Real-time travel and weather information

> Remote monitoring and diagnostics

> Efficient incident management

> Multi-vendor support

PAMR Spectrum Allocations in Asia-Pac

• Australia: 500-520 MHz

• Cambodia 420 - 426 and 806 - 812 MHz

• China 350 MHz

• India: 405 - 470 and 806 - 821 MHz

• Indonesia: 409-419; 422-429 ; 815-860 MHz

• New Zealand: 406-410 MHz;

• Philippines: 482-486; 492-496; 806-821 MHz

• Singapore: 371-381; 389-399; 806-821 MHz

• Thailand: 484-488; 806-821 MHz

TETRA in Malaysia

• PAMR (Network Operators) 380-400 MHz*• Public Safety: 410-430 MHz **• Analogue PAMR licences will not be issued

beyond 2005• Jabatam Telecom Malaysia (JTM)

encouraging migration to digital• TETRA PAMR licence issued by the JTM to

Electrocom• Telecom Malaysia have evaluated TETRA

and have also applied for TETRA PAMR licence** inverse to CEPT ERO Decide 1/96

* inverse to CEPT ERO Decide 4/96

Some of Key Issues of the Operators

• Wait-and-see on what happens in Europe

• Subscriber loading

• Migration & backward compatibility

• Terminal size & costs

TETRA has yet to gain the widespread endorsement by the PAMR Operators in the Asia-Pacific market.

The Key tasks for the Regulators

In order to gain the full benefits of ETSI TETRA standard, National Regulators should consider:

• increasing spectrum allocations and, where possible, mirroring CEPT/ ERO recommendations.

• extending the period of licence.

• removing traditional restrictions, e.g. interconnect to PSTN.

• new methods, taking into account broader depth of users & services, e.g. mobile telephony, telemetry, messaging, mobile data, paging.

Australian example

• Innovative solutions to two main obstacles to rolling out TETRA, viz. spectrum & Approvals

• Spectrum allocation managed through spectrum auctions

• No Radio Type Approval needed since there is no restriction on technology and, except broadcasting, no restriction on its use.

• Spectrum management left to the owner, with consideration required of interference to other users

• 10 year Operator’s Licence.

TETRA PAMR in Australia

• An Operator (Simoco-Pacific) purchased 83 MHz of spectrum divided across 17 geographical regions

• Potential for a continent-wide TETRA network in 500-520 MHz band

• Unlike in Europe, the system is likely to serve both Public Safety and public Access

• Anticipated launch of services in 1999

Agenda

suppliers

Migration to TETRA from analogue

• Mapping of conventional channels into talk-groups

• Control Rooms

• Data Applications

• Support of basic services by Interworking (Gateways)

• Possible reuse of sites, if in the same band and links, if digital

• Financing packages alternative to “Big Bang”

• No single solution - best one determined by the user

Migration - backward compatibility

• TETRA MoU proposed TETRA TDMA technology for Phase 2 of Project 25.

• Project 25 Phase 2 since asked for backward compatibility with APCO25 Phase 1.

• Development of multi-mode terminals left to market forces.

• History lessons on success of backward compatibility - from D-AMPS vs. GSM to DCC vs. CD

• Backward compatibility for fast moving technology??

Conclusions

• GSM experience has shown that standardisation and globalisation are two key ingredients for the success.

• Future trend for “fewer-doing-more” will increasingly demand technology which can deliver multi-tasking, anyplace, anytime.

• TETRA standard has an unique opportunity to propel the humble PMR and PAMR onto the centre stage of Global Mobile Communications.
