The Power of TETRA – Pioneering telemetry solution for Endesa Endesa, Spain’s leading utility provider, has turned to TETRA in a drive to minimise power disruptions in Catalonia. The company manages a power distribution network spanning 100,000 km of high voltage power lines across the region. Throughout its operations in Spain and South America, Endesa has pioneered the use of telemetry solutions to enable the remote monitoring and management of power networks. Now it will deploy Motorola’s Dimetra IP Compact system to support the automatic detection and prediction of power disruptions in Catalonia. Working together with integration partner Amper Sistemas, Endesa reviewed many solutions including analogue PMR, public
networks such as GSM, and the potential for use of new solutions including WiMAX. TETRA was selected as the most appropriate technology as it offered the best availability, security and futureproofing for Endesa’s machine-to-machine communications. Driving the decision was the need for a spectrally efficient standard, with resilient redundancy and fallback operation as well as a proven track record in deployed solutions. In addition the data capability of TETRA supports the real-time monitoring of Endesa’s distribu-

New concept in data messaging Portalify’s Secure Client is a new concept in data messaging for TETRA networks. The intelligent, user-friendly solution enables data services such as picture messaging, multi-database access, and instant group messaging on multiple platforms, from TETRA handsets to vehicle-based terminals. An intuitive user interface provides easy access to TETRA-based data services in fast-moving situations. The application ensures instant responsiveness by preloading data and by enabling offline use. After initial installation, the client maintains itself automatically and is service-free.
Inside this issue: • TETRA takes off at the airport • New solutions for the ambulance service • Record network roll-out in Hungary
Upgrades and maintenance are carried out automatically over the air. The Secure Client changes its appearance and functionality depending on user needs and preferences. Designed for the needs of organisations utilising a mobile workforce for strategic actions – police, fire and rescue, defence forces, logistics companies and utilities, among others. Hannu Aronsson, chairman and CTO of Portlify, said: “To utilise new, more capable TETRA terminals, an end-to-end intelligent application framework was needed.” To find out more, visit Portalify on Stand S3.
