Fire and Rescue services set to become the third major emergency service on the Airwave network Firelink, the UK Government’s procuring body for the new fire service communications contract, has confirmed that O2 Airwave, subject to satisfactory completion of final contract details, has been successful in its bid to equip all Fire and Rescue services throughout England with a new resilient and secure voice and data communications service. The company will work with the Firelink team in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to conclude final contract matters in the near future. The announcement comes prior to contract award, which is expected before the end of the year. A framework is being created for the scheme that provides the devolved administrations for Scotland and Wales with an option to adopt the service. Jeff Parris, Vice President for O2 Airwave said, “Today’s announcement gives us an opportunity to prove that we can provide the nation’s Fire Services with the very best in communications. We look forward to working closely with the Firelink team over the next few weeks.” The UK Fire Minister, Jim Fitzpatrick said, “We are investing heavily in the Fire and Rescue service to ensure that it is able to meet the challenges of the modern world. Firelink will transform the current arrangements and give the service, for the very first time, the same digital radio system across the country – a system that will enable firefighters to communicate not only between Fire and Rescue services but also with emergency services, regardless of location.“
Nationwide TETRA in Hungary by 2007 The EDR Government Commissioner and the consortium of TMobile Hungary and Hungarian Telekom have concluded the contract for the implementation of the Unified Digital Radio Telecommunications System (EDR) in Hungary. The EDR will by implemented by using TETRA technology in the 380-400 MHz frequency band. The TETRA network will be implemented in the Budapest area by April 2006, with handover of the nationwide network by 31 January 2007. The Hungarian EDR system
will be utilised by the National Police, Border Guards, Fire Services, Catastrophe Protection Directorate, National Environmental and Water Management Directorate, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister’s Office, National Safety Services, Ministry of Health – National Ambulance Service, and the Hungarian Army. “The purpose of the public safety radio telecommunications system providing extremely high availability is to ensure a pro-

fessional connection between the various emergency and safety organisations that makes the execution of actions quicker, more effective and safe,” said Mr. Istvan Pesti, EDR Project Government Commissioner. ‘With the contract signing, the preparation work of a decade has been concluded and the implementation of the Unified Digital Radio Telecommunications System has become close to realisation. It was my pleasure to be able to sign the contract on behalf of the Government.”

Sepura in Nice work for island communications winning form The Isle of Man’s government has new streamlined communications thanks to an integration and improvement project by the Department of Home Affairs. The result is a new TETRA system replacing an outdated analogue radio system. Currently supporting 2500 users spread across 21 sites and 16 user organisations, the system has logged close to one million radio calls since April 2004. Spearheading the initiative was Robert Williamson, Technical Director, Department of Home Affairs’ Communications Division, who also oversaw the consolidation of three disparate control operations for emergency communications under a
Contract wins in Beijing China, and Slovenia are the latest successes for Sepura. The Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Slovenia will use Sepura TETRA radios to protect the south European Schengen border, and a further prestigious contract with the Beijing municipal government’s department for wireless professional affairs and office of information will see 700 hand-held and 2000 mobile TETRA radios supplied to the Beijing police. The win for Sepura in central Europe was made possible by 3Tech d.o.o., Sepura’s new partner in Slovenia, and the China success was made possible by the joint efforts of Sepura’s two partners in China, Beijing Sonicom and Beijing Yongxin Union Technology. As well as winning contracts, Sepura has picked up an industry award. The GPS module jointly developed with QinetiQ won the Electronic category at the UK’s Institution of Electrical Engineers 2005 Innovation in Engineering Awards. Find out more on Stand D1 & D2.
single joint control centre. The government also had to re-evaluate its recording technology, as different systems were in use. “The investigation into an incident was longwinded and required lots of coordination to produce an answer.� said Williamson. Integrated recording was delivered in the shape of a turnkey solution from Motorola, integrating its Dimetra system and trunked radio recording from
NICE Systems. “We wanted a centralised solution that had a proven track record of successfully interfacing with a TETRA radio system,� said Williamson. The new system enables requests for recordings to be fulfilled much faster, and disputes or allegations can be proved or disproved from the recordings. That, said Williamson, is the biggest benefit of all. See the benefits of NICE on Stand F4.
Simoco unveils new company identity A new name has appeared from a well known background – Simoco Digital UK Limited has shed its old skin and emerged as Artevea Digital here at the TWC. As Associate Sponsors of TWC 2005, Artevea has chosen this prestigious event to make their announcement. Tim Allerton, Artevea’s CEO commented, “Our investors are delighted with this rebranding as it
will clearly differentiate us in the TETRA market place.� According to Tim, Artevea’s world-leading position for TETRA over IP technology will be maintained as they continue to be providers of cost-effective solutions for infrastructure equipment and overall system design and implementation.

Welcome to Frankfurt and the 2005 TETRA World Congress I should like to bid you a very warm welcome to Germany at a time when TETRA is very topical – here and around the world. This year’s TWC has a very full agenda with more than 150 expert presentations and user case studies in the programme. There are plenty of networking opportunities as well, so take advantage of them and get your hands on all the latest devices and network equipment on show from the international TETRA companies in the exhibition area. Following the huge success of last year’s event in Vienna, this year’s TWC is set to be the best yet. The exhibition was sold out in the summer and it is the biggest ever. Another first for this year is the dedicated German language stream. Diversions from the conference will include music from the ladies swing quartet at the Gala evening on Wednesday and a trip round Frankfurt on the Ebbelwei Express on Thursday evening. With so much to see and hear and do, I won’t keep you any longer. Enjoy the TWC2005.

Rohill Rolls out the R-8060 Rohill has launched a new base station transceiver, the R8060. With advanced in-house design, the R-8060 provides new functionality, greater flexibility and substantially better performance, with full backward compatibility. A powerful Intel Xscale based CPU runs the embedded Linux operating system of the R-8060, which supports both the current TETRA standard as well as implementation of the TETRA Release2 standards (TEDS), directly interfacing to the IP backbone but also sup-
porting barriered adaptors.

Three-way diversity is standard, and with a highly sensitive receiver section, the R-8060 provides a 16dB link budget improvement over standard solutions, and covers frequencies from 350 to 470 MHz. See more on Stand C1.
CML Processes with less CML’s latest two-way radio solution is the ultra low-powered CMX981, offering advanced digital radio baseband processing combined on-chip with a voice codec/processor and an audio PA. The CMX981 inter-
faces the analogue and digital sections of a digital radio system and performs many of the radio’s critical DSP-intensive functions. The overall functionality of the CMX981 within a digital radio application is to relieve the host processor of a significant amount of work. This creates an overall reduction in power consumption, giving extended end-product operation. Additionally, less powerful DSPs can be considered to keep the cost of new designs to a minimum. Integrate all this information on their Stand G1.

Teltronic is right on track for Russia Spanish manufacturer Teltronic has been awarded the contract to supply the TETRA infrastructure for Russia’s Moscow-St. Petersburg railway. Teltronic’s Russian partners and main contractor Globalsvyaz, and engineering company Microtest will build, assemble and commission the system in the field. Specific interfaces have been designed to custom oriented, locally developed, line dispatching facilities, and strict SORM specifications to allow a comprehensive call monitoring capability have been implemented by Teltronic and its partners. Full integration into the Russian railway procedures and existing systems is provided. The Russian railway is the first in the world to adopt TETRA instead of GSM-R, and the Moscow-St. Petersburg line, with a length of about 800 km, will be the showcase. The first phase of the project has already been delivered. With respect to
terminals, the well proven Teltronic dual TETRA-VHF solution for metros has been adapted to meet the requirements of the railway. Different configurations will ensure the best performance with different types of locomotives and trains. Teltronic has also won a contract to supply the TETRA system for the Pusan Newport in Korea. Track Teltronic down on Stand E2.
TETRA – it’s not all about radios The steady and consolidated success of TETRA around the world has benefited many industries that support the standard, and created a catalyst for better design, smarter marketing and more efficient solutions. In tomorrow’s World Congress News, we focus on the antenna market – make sure you tune in.
Welcome to the TETRA World Congress. Can it really be a year since we were in Vienna? Well, with such an action packed year, perhaps it is not surprising that it seems to have come round again so quickly! However, this year’s event looks set to be the biggest yet. The presence of so many TETRA experts and users, as well as the vast amount of TETRA information here in Frankfurt will, I hope, be of assistance to those involved in the many projects underway in Germany and elsewhere in the world. With the recent news of TETRA wins in Hungary and Romania, and the choice of TETRA for the Fire and Rescue Service in the UK, the event really could not be getting off to a better start. This year we have already undertaken seven one-day TETRA events in several continents of the world and this year’s World Congress will be the culmination of some very hard work by the TETRA Association’s Chief Executive and his team. It is clear that the interest in TETRA continues to grow, particularly in the Asia Pacific region and in South America. Next year, the TETRA Association will be supporting the global user community and industry even further with a number of regional events outside of Europe. You will find more information on our revamped website www.tetramou.com. We have a stand in the exhibition hall – Stand A11. If you want to know about the benefits of membership, or just want to talk TETRA, please come along and have a chat. Phil Godfrey Chairman, TETRA Association
Committed to driving the development of TETRA Already selected by over 500 organisations in more than 70 countries world-wide Sepura offers the largest portfolio of TETRA radio products.

TETRA users can’t do without it 2005 has been a year of exceptional growth for Belgium’s ASTRID network. The number of TETRA terminals now in use is 23,000. One of the latest milestones is the decision by the Government to order one massive batch of more than 5,000
Daniel Haché, ASTRID’s Director of External Relations
TETRA mobile and portable radios for the country’s 250 fire services. Next year, all Belgian fire services will be able to coordinate their actions by sharing one common technology. Daniel Haché, ASTRID’s Director External Relations, gives his view of the experience of TETRA in Belgium. “The strong multi-agency character of the ASTRID network
is being more and more confirmed. This trend is in line with TETRA’s main benefit: enabling people to talk together in order to improve coordination and interventions and to make our society safer. It’s very encouraging to see that the three main ASTRID solutions – radio, paging and computer aided dispatching – are now being successfully integrated in the daily use of public safety organisations.” A special event – the ASTRID Users Day, is organised to enable the growing number of users to exchange ideas and experience. It receives hundreds of visitors. “As a TETRA network operator, ASTRID wants to inform its users, but it’s also very important to have feedback.” Besides the current public safety users, there is an increasing interest from ‘non-traditional’ public safety organisations such as public transport companies, electricity and gas distributors, airports, harbours and hospitals. This autumn, ASTRID has welcomed its first non-public
user: the fire service of Brussels South – Charleroi Airport connected to the radio network in September. Daniel summed up his view of the user experience. “In ASTRID’s early years, some people were afraid of the new TETRA technology, but once
they’ve tested it and experienced the high levels of voice quality, user friendliness and reliability in everyday use, they were very reluctant to return back to their analogue systems. Today, it seems that TETRA users can’t do without it any longer”.
Sigma Wireless seals Swedish deal with Saab Sigma Wireless Technologies, recently acquired by the broadband mobility solutions specialist company PCTEL, has been selected by Saab AB as the principal antenna supplier to the RAKEL TETRA nationwide public safety system in Sweden. The project involves up to 2000 sites and will take three years to complete. Joe Moore, CEO of Sigma Wireless, said the win was a major endorsement of Sigma’s TETRA strategy of designing innova-

EADS Secure Networks – business and technologies in harmony
Where can I eat near the TWC? Delegates have asked for some information to help them choose a restaurant near the Congress venue. Here’s a list – these are all relatively close to the Trade Fair Centre. It is not true that the Editor has tried them all so we can give no personal recommendations, only wish you Guten Appetit.
This autumn, a new force was born into the world of PMR. EADS Secure Networks was created following a major deal that saw the European defence and security group EADS buy Nokia’s PMR business. EADS has more than 130 PMR customers in 56 countries. With its acquisition, EADS is aiming to offer complete endto-end solutions to cater for the needs of any organisation needing PMR. Heading up the new company is CEO Jean-Marc Nasr. “We are doing something new in the marketplace. We are number one in Europe and second in the world for PMR. Any customer, whether from the public safety sector or the commercial world, and whether it needs a small regional network or a major nationwide system, can come to us and find a complete PMR solution using whichever standard best suits their needs. This is the main difference between us and our competitors.” The choice of which technology is best for a specific network is governed by many different influences. “Security needs, the geography of the country, support demands, applications required, and many more influences make it a complex decision,” says Jean-Marc. Having the world’s leading PMR technologies in one stable has prompted some in the industry to question whether EADS Secure Networks will drop one system in favour of another. On this point, Jean-Marc is very emphatic: “We will not discard current systems. It is not feasible, nor does it make sense. We see a bright future for these technologies. Our sales are balanced between the technologies

and we will be developing them further.” To aid the technologies’ development, EADS Secure Networks aims to maintain a strong contribution to standards decisions. “We may see a convergence of the technologies as they evolve and new applications are developed. For example, data is currently a hot topic and new standards may appear in the future.” says JeanMarc. EADS Secure Networks is continuing to push for new business around the world. One major project ongoing in Europe is BOSNET in Germany. “We are competing for the BOSNET project in a consortium together with Siemens. I am

VIVISTA
The SunGard Vivista DS2000, Probably the UK’s favourite Integrated Communications Control System The UK market leader in its field, the SunGard Vivista DS2000 Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS) has a pedigree stretching back to 1991 and is a product which has continually evolved to meet and match the ever developing needs of the customer. The DS2000 ICCS sits at the centre of SunGard Vivista’s Control room product range and is designed to provide single touchscreen control to a host of integrated subsystems including, digital trunk and analogue PMR systems, digital and analogue telephony, CCTV, voice recorders, intercom systems, door locks and alarms. It also provides the capability to integrate with both internal and external sources for provision of the correct decision making information to aid the dispatch process. SunGard Vivista is probably the only ICCS supplier that can cover all aspects of the product life cycle as the product design, system implementation and ongoing support activities are all provided by in-house teams. This ensures that engineering and support staff have direct access to system design authorities when in-depth system information is required.
