Conclusions

• GSM experience has shown that standardisation and
  globalisation are two key ingredients for a
  technology to succeed.
• Growing trend for fewer-doing-more will
  increasingly demand technology which can deliver
  multi-tasking, anyplace, anytime.
• TETRA standard is positioned to propel the humble
  PMR and PAMR onto the centre stage of Global
  Mobile Communications.
• TETRA technology survives well into 3G era
  because of its specific features
