Operational challenges between Commercial & Dedicated networks Commercial networks by definition cater for the mass market – consumers & business users – often many millions of users Mission critical organisations operating on a commercial network would compete with ordinary users for capacity A dedicated network allow organisations to control & manage the network and resource allocation Secure communications are increasingly needed for mission critical operations End-User Empowerment

Evolution: Applications over TETRA TETRA 1 Circuit Data TETRA 1 Short Data Services TETRA 1 Single Slot Packet Data TETRA 1 Multi-slot Packet Data TETRA 2 High Speed Data Database search AVL File transfer e.g Still images Slow scan video QoS managed video Not suitable SuitableEffective today

TETRA IP Packet Data Partitions to allow multiple organisations to share the TETRA network Hospital Journals Fire Voice Communications IP over TETRA & TETRA over IP Voice Data –Each agency operate their closed network–Individual user groups cannot “see” into each others’ networks –Data tunnel across the network, creating a private & confidential link –Functionality is available for both voice & data services –Data can be encrypted by the application

Multi-slot Packet Data TETRA single-slot packet data –fulfilling much of today’s data transmission requirements such as sending and receiving files and images Multi slot packet data (MSPD): up to four times faster MSPD will enable mission critical services to respond quicker and be more efficient MSPD is part of the TETRA open standard

Service Interaction - Pre-emption Multi slot packet data offers the capability of pre-emption Allocated as dynamic single slot channels –Multi slot channels can be partially or completely resource pre-empted The channels are pre-empted & expanded “on the fly” –No service interruption Pre-emption of dynamic single slot channel

Pre-emption Example Multi slot MCCHVVSS

Pre-emption Example Multi slot MCCHVVSS V Voice channels are full and another radio is requesting voice communication

Pre-emption Example MCCHVVSS VVVV

Data evolution history in TETRA TETRA 1MSPDTETRA 2Future SDS Telemetry - Messaging Database search AVL File & still images s PDS MSPD Slow scan video QoS managed video TETRA2 MSPD With Pre- emption Years/ Technology Complexity

High Speed Data on TETRA Legend: Circle size = coverage area Circle height = data speed Several future alternatives: TETRA 2, WLAN, Wideband, more ? TETRA 3? Although MSPD is a big step forward for media-rich applications, it is not the end of the evolution

The future of communications … Technology maturation will result in applications explosion A much more user centric content that is device and context sensitive will rule Privacy, safety and security for any mission critical market will preside “Moving information to the point of decision” Sir Edmund Burton, Head of PITO

Data on TETRA Real In use Appreciated An example from the real life

Hereford and Worcester Ambulance Part of the AIRWAVE digital radio network Xxx vehicles Direct communication with 6 hospitals Population: more than Geographical coverage: close to square Km

TETRA IP data which saves lives Automatic vehicle location –enables control centre to appropriately direct and monitor fleet location Remote programming of in-vehicle satellite navigation systems –helps crew to identify most efficient route In-vehicle data terminals –alert crews to emergencies –if the alert is not 'accepted' within 30 seconds the system automatically pages the health professional

TETRA IP data which saves lives Status messaging –ability for crews to send status messages to control centre eg. notifying arrival at scene IP data solution to transmit live biometrics information from patient’s side to Consultant at hospital –electrocardiogram, blood gas and blood pressure data to facilitate remote prescription of powerful drugs complete –system automatically generates patient record forms enabling prompt attention when the ambulance arrives at hospital –supports audit trail

Hereford and Worcester Ambulance Launch Mobile Data and Automatic Vehicle Location Press statement 9 February 2004 Saving lives The Ambulance Services Project Manager, Dominic Robertson, said “This system will greatly enhance our ability to get to patients as quickly as possible and, just as importantly, to ensure that life- saving, clot busting drugs can be administered to the patient by the Paramedics as soon as possible.”
