DESCRIPTION
Mobile communications, especially in emergency situations, but also as businesses increasingly use mobile connectivity for their operations, is becoming critical. Public safety, emergency response, crisis control and smooth day-to-day operations all rely on people connecting and information being shared accurately. Telstra today is enabling voice and narrowband communications through both private and public mobile networks, while working to develop an integrated mobile broadband solution to meet the needs of tomorrow for emergency services, mining, transport and utilities. This presentation will explore the coverage, resiliency and customer experience that underpin the Telstra mobile broadband communication network, and the roadmap Telstra has to deliver an emergency- grade mobile network that offers dedicated spectrum coupled with the reach and mobile broadband experience that Telstra offers. Anthony Goonan, Director, Network Commercial Engineering, Telstra Corporation

Preparing the network for new world leading technologies such as 4G-LTE-Advanced and channel aggregation.
Further expand our 4G coverage beyond our current 85% Australian population reach.
Continue to expand our coverage by adding more than 100 new coverage sites to the network.
Continue to invest in the backhaul to ensure our customers continue to enjoy a superior network experience in more places.
Telstra has invested over $4 Billion into the mobile network to date. In FY13/14 we will:

Telstra 4G leading the way Experience Australia’s largest 4G coverage - our “4x4” mobile network
With Telstra you enjoy 4G speeds across 4 times the coverage area of any other network in Australia
4G not only provides faster speeds, it also provides greater capacity so you can enjoy a more reliable and richer network experience.

Every Day ESOs have sole and exclusive use of their own spectrum, ensuring critical communications are provided to remove, rural and urban centres more equitably.
Major Incident During a major event, PPDR capability is immediately augmented using commercial capability by providing priority access and preferential data treatment for mission critical communications in Telstra’s LTE coverage areas.
Disaster In the event of a disaster critical communications are further augmented with additional PPDR capability that is available to all ESOs.

The capability we have developed and demonstrated to key industry segments The network provides 4 key capabilities
1 A dedicated and partitioned spectrum ‘lane’ of capacity for PPDR use, providing exclusive access and mobile broadband data
Capacity expanded by allocating preferential data treatment on our commercial 4G LTE technology in LTE enabled areas
Prioritised network access of PPDR services on our commercial 4G LTE technology in LTE enabled areas (85% population)
Seamless operation between the partitioned spectrum allocation to the public network where LTE is enabled.

3GPP standards engagement for public safety Telstra strongly support a 3GPP roadmap
3GPP’s objective is to preserve the considerable strengths of LTE while also adding features needed for public safety
Active industry engagement with the LTE standards community in 3GPP to create the system improvements needed to meet public safety requirements.
Cooperation has been established between 3GPP and other groups to ensure broad representation of the public safety community.

We are driving the ecosystem development for all to benefit
We have developed the LANES concept and are working with Ericsson to commercialise it
Working with device partners on ruggedized, fit for purpose devices
Telstra have been active in the industry to develop a regional harmonised capability • APT (Asia Pacific Telecommunity) forum work
with PPDR band harmonisation • APT forum work with LANES adoption
(and subsequent interest in other regions) • IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) forum for
introduction of LANES
Integrated Video/PTT & dispatch

We have demonstrated LANES in the live Telstra network
Following the Showcase, LANES was successfully deployed at the Woodford Folk Festival by the Queensland Police Service.
We showcased this capability to Government and Industry representatives in Brisbane and Perth through a series of live demonstrations
In late November/early December 2013, Telstra piloted LANES in the live network.

By leveraging an existing robust national telecommunications infrastructure, ESOs can seamlessly interoperate and communicate with each other nationally, as well as vital services including utilities, hospitals, public warning systems and our defence forces.
