FIRST REGIONAL SHARED NETWORK

H

ytera has been awarded a contract to deliver deliver its AccessNet®-T IP TETRA radio system to the Bas Rhin General Council in France.

Integrator and general contractor for this project is Rohde & Schwarz France.

This system is the first TETRA system deployed by a French region and shared by different local agencies.

Approximately 400 radio terminals will be used in the first operational phase which is due to begin at the end of this year.

METRO ONLINE

T

he TETRA network on Line 2 of the Santo Domingo Metro has been brought into operation at a ceremony attended by Danilo Medina, President of the Dominican Republic.

The network was supplied by Thales. Fourteen stations are now open and the new line carries approximately 50,000 passengers a day. Thales has also supplied the fixed terminals for the driver consoles of the metro trains

as well as ruggedised mobile terminals for security agents, cleaning and maintenance staff. n

In addition to voice communications, the General Council plans to use the system for smart road telemetric applications, with temperature and frost measurements and other street status data relayed over the network. n

“FOURTEEN STATIONS ARE NOW OPEN AND THE NEW LINE CARRIES APPROXIMATELY 50,000 PASSENGERS A DAY”

INAUGURAL MEETING The TCCA’s new SCADA, Smart Grid and Telemetry Working Group (SSTWG) aims to help the TETRA industry exploit new opportunities, and enable utilities and industry to participate in and influence the development of suitable solutions for traditional SCADA, telemetry and smart grid applications.

The Group’s main objective is to create a forum for users, manufacturers, system integrators and developers to share experiences and requirements, and catalyse this market for TETRA. The Group’s inaugural meeting is at 15.30 today in the Media Centre – all interested parties are welcome. n

TETRA by Thales – see how on Stand B301.

NEW VICE-CHAIR OF EENA NG112

W

olfgang Kampichler, a Chief Scientific Researcher at Frequentis AG, has been appointed as Vice – Chair of the European Emergency Number Association (EENA). He is a recognized expert on Next Generation (NG)9-1-1/NG112.

“EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE NOT WIDELY REACHABLE OTHER THAN BY STANDARD VOICE COMMUNICATIONS”

While citizens use IP-based communications every day, emergency services are not widely reachable other than by standard voice communications.

Frequentis participates in the NG9-1-1 Initiative which was started in 2000 by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) to enable U.S. citizens to send text, images, video and data to 9-1-1 centres.

The NG112 initiative is the European equivalent. The

NG112 Committee intends to establish requirements so that emergency services can be accessed via a range of IPcommunications. The work also aims to make emergency services more interoperable using Next Generation Networks.

Frequentis is an international supplier of communication and information systems in safetycritical markets – find out more about Frequentis on Stand B203. n

IOP TESTING COMPLETE

D

AMM has announced completion of the latest interoperability (IOP) test between its TetraFlex infrastructure software and all major TETRA terminal providers.

The interoperability sessions were carried out over several weeks, under the supervision of ISCOM, the TCCA-appointed independent certification authority.

In a separate announcement, Hytera reported that it too has finished the official multi-vendor interoperability test session with

its TETRA system ACCESSNET®-T IP and all relevant terminal manufacturers, carried out at Hytera’s testing facility in Bad Münder, Germany.

The IOP certification testing process is carried out in a multivendor environment and tests the interaction between products from different manufacturers.

Certificates are posted on www.tandcca.com The TCCA’s IOP process ensures users and equipment suppliers benefit from a truly open

“THE TCCA’S IOP PROCESS ENSURES USERS AND EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS BENEFIT FROM A TRULY OPEN MULTIVENDOR MARKET” multivendor market for TETRA systems and equipment. Users can be confident that products awarded an IOP certificate have been rigorously tested and the functions listed in the certificate

fully meet the TETRA standard.

This allows users who select equipment from a number of suppliers to reduce the amount of system integration and testing that they need to undertake.

Earlier this year, the TCCA announced that the 750th TETRA interoperability test certificate had been issued, marking the 15th year of the process that has driven the global adoption of the TETRA standard. Each certificate issued is for a specific infrastructure-radio terminal combination. n

DAY TWO Thursday 23rd May 2013

MS Research has conducted a study measuring the market for accessories for use with portable (handheld) licensed mobile radios, including batteries, chargers, antennas, speaker microphones, headsets, tactical headsets and surveillance kits. The study revealed that the accessories market was worth an estimated $1.2 billion in 2011, with good growth in both shipments and revenues forecast for the next few years.

The conclusion that the accessories market makes up a significant proportion of the Licensed Mobile Radio (LMR) market, quantified and confirmed something that had long been suspected. Based on the fact that there are tens of millions of LMR users around the world, there is a large user base with a requirement for accessories. Each radio in use requires a battery, antenna and charger to function as a minimum, but the most interesting story is from the specialist accessory groups. As well as examining the standard accessories the study also examined specialist

accessory markets including ATEX, hearing protection and wireless accessories, all of which are set to see double digit growth each year over the next five years.

ATEX is of particular note, as in recent years there has been increasing interest in TETRA ATEX radio systems. Despite the fact that ATEX was originally an EU directive, it has been adopted in a variety of other regions including Australia, the Middle East and Africa, where TETRA ATEX systems have been installed by a number of oil, gas and mining facilities where such operations require intrinsically safe equipment. It is estimated that at least 5 per cent of all TETRA radios shipped in 2011 were ATEX certified and demand has continued to rise since then. ATEX radios also require ATEX certified peripheral accessories such as headsets and speaker microphones, as well as replacement approved terminalassociated accessories such as batteries and antennas. In line with the growth in ATEX systems and terminals, ATEX accessories have also seen increased shipments, and

ACCESSORIES MARKET INCLUDING ATEX TO SEE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH By Deryn Evans, Senior Market Analyst, IHS

Demand continues to rise for ATEX terminals

IHS predicts that this growth will continue as users are increasingly educated and familiar with the benefits of such equipment. n Deryn Evans is a Senior Market Analyst in the Critical Communications group at
