1 INTEROPERABILITY (IOP) FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE By Kevin Swann Business Development Director
Slide 2 Objectives: Paradigm shift in choice TETRA: - solid foundations - not the end goal - need for future flexibility Two areas of software IOP: - bank end - front end Rise of software importance: - key to the future Choice of hardware v’s choice of software in : –handsets / mobiles –base stations / repeaters –networks / infrastructure –ISSI
Slide 3 TETRA – IOP Back End - I.P - SIP & RTP
Slide 4 A. IOP Back End RNC NIF PSTN GATEWAY ISSI/ISI KMS OTAR FIPS
Slide 5 TETRA BACK END IOP APCO P25, DMR & SDR WCDMA or GSM / GPRS Secure TETRA through ISSI/ISI FIPS with codec module? OTAR, KMS
Slide 6 B. Front End (ignore operator issues) Mobile Phones Analogue UK GSM 900 GSM 1900 AMPS USA GSM 1800 Duelband IOP CDMA Triband IOP Hardware/SoftwareHardware/SoftwareHardware/Software 80% / 20%35% / 65%20% / 80%+ Quadban IOP
Slide 7 Front End – Digital PMR / PAMR / LMR TETRA TIPS → Tetra II (back compatible) APCO P25 (backward compatible to analogue) PIPS / PCP’s APCO P25 II Europe - DMR (possibly USA ++) - DPMR Japan – TETRA – Like but not IOP
Slide 8 Military Requirements: Supreme Security Home Land IOP Multinational IOP TETRA / APCO Features
Slide 9 Answer = Software Defined Radio (SDR) SDR waveforms are key Implement TETRA and APCO P25 & DMR onto SDR platforms Then unique waveforms for special requirements
Slide 10 To Action This: Powerful hardware platform 90%+ of radio integral value = software New waveforms continuously STRUCTURE OF SOFTWARE ESSENTIAL
Slide 11 Core Service Means: Upgradeable software Fully exercisable software Win 32 platform Portability host SDR future possible Built upon TETRA foundations
Slide 12 Summary: Today the choice of system and product is switching from hardware centric to software centric IOP is a pre-requisite Future planning is essential Build TETRA NETWORKS WITH CONFIDENCE but at every stage think SOFTWARE IOP
