elcome to Critical Communications World 2013, incorporating the TETRA World Congress. This year’s event is set to be the largest in the history of the Congress, with the biggest exhibition to date and visitors expected from 102 countries.

This builds on the success of 2012, when the TETRA market had its most successful year ever for terminals shipped, with growth of more than 12 per cent over 2011.

In 2012 industrial and utilities

increased their share of the market to 10 per cent, while business critical applications are forecast to see the most growth over the next five years.

Public safety retains the greatest market share with 65 per cent of the world’s installed base.

In Europe, the new networks in Germany and Norway have brought the number of users in Europe to more than 1.5 million.

TETRA industrial and utilities markets are seeing increased market share.

CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR GLOBAL SOLUTIONS

T

he standardisation of critical communication systems is essential, and so is the participation of the critical communications community in preparing those standards.

Those are the conclusions of this morning’s Plenary session presentation on the development of critical communications standards, given by Adrian Scrase, CTO of ETSI and Head of 3GPP Competence Centre.

The presentation outlined the work of ETSI and the issues that need to be overcome.

With all the work under way in advancing standards for critical communications, there are two main barriers: spectrum scarcity hampering the development of high bit rate applications for use in emergency situations, and the incompatibility of heterogeneous wireless communication systems.

Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS) technology may help resolve these, and ETSI is currently studying use cases. Its conclusions will form the response to the corresponding European standardisation mandate (M/512 ).

In Europe, harmonisation of broadband spectrum for PPDR is being considered, and CEPT has published a report that specifies the need for dedicated spectrum and the amount required. If such spectrum is put in place, European standards will ensure interoperability of PPDR systems.

Critical communications groups have recognised the value of LTE as a platform, and it has already been adopted in the US for public safety.

Much effort has gone into securing a schedule of development to integrate critical communications features into the LTE standards

TH1n AVAILABLE FOR NEW GOLD TAKES TETRA FOR CANADIAN MINE SAFETY 800MHZ

N

ew Gold Inc. has entered into an agreement with Cartel Communication Systems Inc., partners to DAMM and Sepura in Canada, to install a TETRA radio network at the New Afton mine site in British Columbia, Canada.

The communications network will replace the existing iDen radio system currently serving the mine site. New Gold has calculated that its investment in the DAMM system will be repaid in less than a year.

Brett Gagnon, Vice President of Information Technology for New Gold, said: “After very careful evaluation we chose Sepura terminals for their quality and durability and are pleased to enter into what we expect to be a long term relationship.” The terminals will be used in a variety of surface and subterranean operations.

Steve Cragg, President for Sepura North America said “This is another landmark award for TETRA in Canada and North America, one of the very first TETRA wins in the region since the official approval of the use of the technology last year.”

As well as being able to reuse New Gold’s existing 800 MHz infrastructure, the new system will accommodate all existing operational groups and provide mine safety personnel with the ability to constantly monitor all operational talk channels.

The network will be delivered with DAMM’s Dispatcher option, and a Voice Gateway that will interconnect with New Gold’s PABX telephone system.

New Gold is an intermediate gold mining company with a portfolio of four producing assets and two significant development projects which together make the

NEW PRESIDENT FOR NORTH AMERICA Steve Cragg has been appointed as President of Sepura North America. With over 20 years of industry experience, Steve joins from Tait Communications, where for the last five years he held the role of President of the Americas region. Prior to this, Steve headed up the company’s Africa, Middle East and Latin America markets.

Steve said: “These are very exciting times for a variety of market sectors in North America. Users in the region have long been seeking the benefits provided by a genuinely open standard and I am confident that our comprehensive offering will continue to find an eager audience ready to embrace the unique digital dividends that TETRA offers.”

The pocket-sized TH1n from Cassidian is now available in the 800MHz frequency band. TH1n is the world’s smallest TETRA terminal and won ‘Best TETRA Enterprise Product’ at the 2013 International TETRA Awards This new variation complements the 380-430MHz model, and enlarges Cassidian’s TETRA

terminal portfolio for 800 MHz, used in the US and Asia.

With the ability to access and share data in the field becoming increasingly important, the TH1n enables field operatives to perform data queries and send reports, and the Java platform facilitates many types of applications through tailor-made user interfaces. n

DAY ONE Wednesday 22nd May 2013

CROSS-BORDER CONNECTIONS – THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ISI At this morning’s Plenary session, Norway’s DNK and Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) evaluate the project designed to interconnect the two networks by 2015. Cecilie Løken from the Norwegian Directorate of Emergency Communication explains the importance of the Inter System Interface (ISI).

N

orway and Sweden have a long tradition of cooperation between the emergency agencies in the two countries. Both countries are have large areas close to the borders where few people live, and hence few emergency agencies are present, and in several situations the closest ambulance or fire squad may be in the other country.

Examples of this are traffic accidents, where it is important to reach the incident with the closest resource regardless of which country it comes from.

Another example is patient transportation by ambulance, where in some case the quickest

route may be to travel part of the way in Sweden even though it is a Norwegian ambulance headed for a Norwegian hospital. A third example is a close cooperation in the summer season when a lot of Norwegians spend their vacation off the coast of Sweden, and the closest ambulance service is in Norway. I have been told that in this area there is a communication between the ambulance services in the two countries almost every day during summer. Also, police and customs have a problem if they are chasing a car that ends up in the other country, where their own communication system no longer works.

The border between Norway and Sweden is 1,600 km long, so there are a lot of different situations where cooperation is important. Today in some cases cooperation across the border is not possible because of lack of communication technology, but generally the agencies are using regular cell phones since the radio networks are not linked together.

LTE + TETRA = LTEtraNode

“NORWAY AND SWEDEN HAVE A LONG TRADITION OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE EMERGENCY AGENCIES IN THE TWO COUNTRIES.” Use of commercial cell phones is challenging though, because of the lack of resilience and security, and also because the conversations are always only between two individuals.

This is why the Norwegian and Swedish governments have decided to fund the realization of ISI, in order to allow users in the two emergency radio networks to be able to cooperate by linking the two networks together. In addition to the technical issues however, operational and legal matters must be settled before a full cooperation across the border and into the opposite country will be possible.

Cross-Border TETRA Communication is Happening: session today at 11.45. n

For the next three days, at 11am, Rohill will be showcasing its new integrated LTE/TETRA product LTEtraNode. The product has been developed in cooperation with Huawei. LTEtraNode offers voice and data services on a joint platform for critical communication. Rohill looks forward to welcoming you to Stand A401. n

NEW PLAYER IN TETRA FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

T

here is a new player in the TETRA transport market.

Kapsch CarrierCom has expanded its core business units to include TETRA solutions for urban public transport. Wolfgang Leindecker, Vice President Public Transport and M2M for Kapsch CarrierCom, explains the move into TETRA. “The transportation sector is increasingly turning to TETRA. For urban transport companies, reliable and secure communications are essential.

Everyone from field engineers, to dispatchers, drivers and operators must be able to contact each other quickly to keep service efficient and ensure the safety of the passengers.

“There are two major drivers for this market growth: the predicted increase in ‘megacities’, and the move away from rural areas – not long into the future, 70 per cent of the world’s population will live in cities. This will put tremendous pressure on public transport, and

there will be a huge shift towards multi-modal traffic systems. To ensure these ease the pressure of city living, they must be intelligent and smart.

“TETRA critical communications are the base for the intelligent network that will drive these systems. The network must be secure, highly available, futureproof and completely reliable.

Public communications networks have obvious risks, especially in times of high demand when heavy public use can prevent calls from connecting.”

Kapsch CarrierCom is rolling out its complete TETRA solutions for public transport in partnership with Rohill Engineering B.V. “Rohill has highly advanced TETRA infrastructure with a futureproof all-IP softswitch architecture and an award-winning low power consumption,” said Wolfgang.

“This is a technology partnership that brings together best in class TETRA technology with proven our ability to supply dedicated

TETRA - THE MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR TO DATE

By Deryn Evans, Senior Market Analyst, IHS

I

n 2012 the TETRA terminals market had its most successful year to date in terms of terminals shipped. With growth of more than 12% over the terminals shipped in 2011, the latest data from IMS Research (acquired by IHS Inc. (NYSE:IHS)) shows that TETRA continues to dominate critical communications in many regions.

European public safety and security currently remains the backbone of the TETRA market.

The older mature European public safety networks are seeing increased terminal shipments as many enter the replacement cycle, with terminal refreshes recently in the UK and Netherlands. In 2012 there were also high shipments to Germany and Norway, as both are rolling out nationwide TETRA public safety networks. These are due for completion in the next two years and shipments of terminals to these users are expected to remain high during this period.

W

i Par

This imminent completion of the final big European roll outs does raise the question: where will the next big installation of new users occur?

In the face of this issue, TETRA has not been complacent. It has been diversifying its customer base and there have been some significant developments in regions and user groups beyond TETRA’s traditional European public safety stronghold.

Increased take up has been observed in the Middle East, Africa, South America as well as Australasia in user groups, ranging from public safety to transportation and TETRA ATEX has been popular with oil, gas and mining facilities.

Attention has now turned to North America, which has become the newest region to open up to the possibility of TETRA, with mandates permitting its use in all application areas except public safety, passed in both Canada and the US in 2011.

increasing number of countries and user groups opting for the security and reliability of TETRA solutions, it is certainly here to stay for the foreseeable future. n

Deryn Evans

This is one of the oldest and largest regions for mobile radio use, with a significant analogue user base now considering the digital options. We have already seen TETRA being adopted in the utilities and transportation sectors in this region, with more announcements expected through 2013 and beyond.

Although TETRA is a mature technology it is by no means a relic of a past age. With the

DUAL TECHNOLOGY BASE STATION ENABLES UNIFIED NETWORK Motorola Solutions, Inc. has announced the dual technology MTS4L base station. It is designed to enable operators to deploy a TETRA/TEDS network and be ready for the addition of an LTE eNodeB in the same base station cabinet to create a unified TETRA and LTE network.

The MTS4L can be installed as a TETRA-only base station, and includes the services required for eNode B such as shared backhaul, common power supply and battery backup.

Tom Quirke, vice president

and general manager, Global TETRA Organisation, Motorola Solutions, said: “Public safety organisations are looking to build up solutions that are future safe and will allow them the evolution path to high-speed data in the mid- to long-term future. They realise the necessity to keep TETRA and TEDS as a core network and consider adding LTE as an overlay in the future.

“One of the main barriers is cost - running costs of base station sites typically account

for a significant portion of the total cost of ownership of a TETRA network. With the MTS4L base station we look to make transition to LTE as painless and inexpensive as possible, removing the need for any additional floor space and minimising disruption.

“This is a solution for public safety organisations that equips them for future needs, with the flexibility to choose when and where to add LTE to their networks, and to select the frequency.” n
