TETRA & Airwave
The Airwave service is a digital radio communications network designed to meet the needs of the police, fire, ambulance and other public safety organisations. It is a digital mobile radio service that provides a secure and flexible communications network.
TETRA
TETRA is short for TErrestrial Trunked RAdio, an open European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard for digital trunked radio.
The Home Office chose TETRA as the standard for Airwave, deriving the following benefits:
As an open standard, TETRA allows true interoperability between geographically and operationally diverse sets of users.
It also created a highly competitive market for terminal equipment, bringing associated benefits for end users.
The TETRA system is already proven in the field, with a large customer base across Europe, including Finland , Germany and Holland .
The standard expects to be supporting between five and ten million users by the end of 2010.
TETRA is the only open digital trunked radio standard approved by the European Telecommunications Standard Agency.
Although some commercial deployments of TETRA exist, it can be extremely difficult and costly to acquire frequencies outside of the public safety organisations.
Premier Communication Electronics Ltd installs, maintains and supports TETRA solutions for public safety organisations.
