Operational challenges between Commercial
Dedicated networks

• Commercial networks by definition cater for the
  mass market consumers business users often
  many millions of users
• Mission critical organisations operating on a
  commercial network would compete with ordinary
  users for capacity
• A dedicated network allow organisations to
  control manage the network and resource
  allocation
• Secure communications are increasingly needed for
  mission critical operations

Multi-slot Packet Data

• TETRA single-slot packet data
• fulfilling much of todays data transmission
  requirements such as sending and receiving files
  and images
• Multi slot packet data (MSPD) up to four times
  faster
• MSPD will enable mission critical services to
  respond quicker and be more efficient
• MSPD is part of the TETRA open standard

15
Service Interaction - Pre-emption

• Multi slot packet data offers the capability of
  pre-emption
• Allocated as dynamic single slot channels
• Multi slot channels can be partially or
  completely resource pre-empted
• The channels are pre-empted expanded on the
  fly
• No service interruption
• Pre-emption of dynamic single slot channel

High Speed Data on TETRA
Although MSPD is a big step forward for
media-rich applications, it is not the end of the
evolution
Several future alternatives TETRA 2, WLAN,
Wideband, more? TETRA 3?

The future of communications

• Technology maturation will result in applications
  explosion
• A much more user centric content that is device
  and context sensitive will rule
• Privacy, safety and security for any mission
  critical market will preside

Data on TETRA

• Real
• In use
• Appreciated
• An example from the real life

25
Hereford and Worcester Ambulance

• Part of the AIRWAVE digital radio network
• Xxx vehicles
• Direct communication with 6 hospitals
• Population more than 720.000
• Geographical coverage close to 4 000 square Km

26
TETRA IP data which saves lives

• Automatic vehicle location
• enables control centre to appropriately direct
  and monitor fleet location
• Remote programming of in-vehicle satellite
  navigation systems
• helps crew to identify most efficient route
• In-vehicle data terminals
• alert crews to emergencies
• if the alert is not 'accepted' within 30 seconds
  the system automatically pages the health
  professional

27
TETRA IP data which saves lives

• Status messaging
• ability for crews to send status messages to
  control centre eg. notifying arrival at scene
• IP data solution to transmit live biometrics
  information from patients side to Consultant at
  hospital
• electrocardiogram, blood gas and blood pressure
  data to facilitate remote prescription of
  powerful drugs complete
• system automatically generates patient record
  forms enabling prompt attention when the
  ambulance arrives at hospital
• supports audit trail

statement 9 February 2004
Saving lives The Ambulance Services Project
Manager, Dominic Robertson, said This system
will greatly enhance our ability to get to
patients as quickly as possible and, just as
importantly, to ensure that life-saving, clot
busting drugs can be administered to the patient
by the Paramedics as soon as possible.
