Basic principles of standardization

• Voluntary
• Open
• Consensus
• Public
• General purpose for the society
• Compatibility (between generations)

9
Why work in standards? Openness fueling market
growth and innovation
Market take-up
Open standards systems
proprietary systems

• Identified benefits to users include
• Cost reduction due to increased competition
• Greater interoperability
• Increased choice
• More innovation
• And many others

10
Standardization meets industry expectations

• Load sharing / Cost saving
• Creation of a critical mass
• Bringing economy of scale
• Close co-operation of competitors
• Reduction of solutions to a minimum preferably
  ONE!
• Greater interoperability
• Increased customer base
• A fight against technical barriers to trade
• STANDARDIZATION gt INNOVATION

ETSI success story GSM

• Conceived as a digital replacement for ageing
  analogue mobile systems in Europe, GSM has now
  become a truly global system
• The figures speak for themselves
• over 1 billion GSM users worldwide
• 500 GSM networks in 175 countries/areas
• 24 billion SMS messages per month
• GSM accounts for 71 of the World's digital
  communication market and 68 of the World's
  wireless market

The GSM Footprint
with GSM
no GSM

ETSI success story TETRA

• TETRA IS AN OPEN DIGITAL TRUNKED RADIO STANDARD
• DEFINED BY ETSI TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE
• MOST DEMANDING PROFESSIONAL MOBILE RADIO USERS
• TETRA HAS REACHED GREAT ACCEPTANCE IN THE WORLD
  AND IS WIDELY ESTABLISHED
• is one of ETSIs  best-sellers  not only in
  Europe

16
TETRA Release 2

• Close cooperation with TETRA MoU Association in
  early 2000s resulted in an agreed plan for
  enhancing TETRA standard
• After significant market changes and
  prioritisation the main deliverables of TETRA
  Release 2 are
• Wideband Data TEDS (TETRA Enhanced Data Service)
• AMR Codec and NATO low bit rate codec (STANAG
  4591)
• Air Interface Enhancements, incl. Long range
  Air-to-Ground
• Location Information Protocol (LIP) Application

17
TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS)

• The TEDS standard has been driven by User
  Requirements
• TEDS is a new data service fully integrated with
  existing TETRA networks
• The TEDS standard provides high speed data and
  multimedia service capabilities
• Utilize new technologies
• Increase futureproofness of TETRA as the standard
  for PMR and PAMR worldwide

18
TETRA STANDARD TODAY AND TOMORROW

• The TEDS Standard is completed this year
• The TETRA Release 2 programme has taken into
  account market changes that have taken place
  after its launch
• TC TETRA has positioned itself to be the body
  engaged in the continuous enhancement of TETRA
  beyond Release 2

• April 1999
• ETSI GA32 rejected TETRAPOL PAS application
  (62,5 against)
• ETSI GA32 agreed that SchengenPolice
  Co-operation Council (PCC)should identify
  interworking requirementsbetween TETRAPOL and
  TETRA systemsdeployed in the market
• All parties agreed that ETSI TETRAPOL
  Forumwill resolve/standardize any interworking
  requirementsidentified by the PCC
• ETSI is not aware of any interworking
  requirementsbeing identified by the Schengen
  PCC.
