• Public

14
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

15
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 Project TETRA Organisation

• WG Working Group
• VC Vice Chairman
• TO ETSI Project Technical Officer
• HSD High Speed Data
• DMO Direct Mode Operation

A standard for Users from the Users

• Working Group 1 is responsible for producing the
  User Requirement Specification (URS)
• Working Group 1 is mainly formed by
  representatives of Users/Public Safety
  organizations
• The URS used as a basis for all the other TC
  TETRA working groups, each of which deal with a
  particular aspect of the standard to be
  developed, e.g. air interface, network aspects,
  data, codec, etc.

25
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
• Air Interface Enhancements,
• Location Information Protocol (LIP) Application

26
TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS)

• The TEDS standard has been driven by User
  Requirements
• TEDS is a 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

27
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
