PMR today
Different

Different
Different

users with different requirements
territories of operation
bands, sub-bands and channel

PMR today
Interoperability issue in day-by-day and crisis
operation
Growing up needs and requirements
Technology changes
Demand to decrees investment and
operational costs
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Preferred solution
Advantages:
Single
radio standard
 Interoperability solved
 Standard=Competition=Low prices
But…
 Long time of implementation
 All radios must be replaced
All subscribers
use the same system
 Huge costs of new infrastructure
 Compromise – coverage/capacity
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Longing for standard
TETRA, APCO25, TETRAPOL
 Different standards of radio interface
 No standard for system infrastructure
 Limited functionality (data transmission)
 Long implementation process
 Technology become stale
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Band issue
VHF Band – conventional networks
UHF Band
 380-400MHz - Emergency TETRA - ERC (96)01
 410-430MHz, 450-470MHz:
• civil TETRA - ERC (96)04
• Narrowband Digital PMR - ECC (02)03
New sub-bands for high speed data (4,9GHz)
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Backbone of PMR system
Backbone is 30-40% of the wide-area system
total cost (switches, transmission,
management)
Backbone affects:
 How fast system is implemented
 Cost of system operation
 System reliability
 System flexibility for expansion
 Implementation of new services

VIDA
One IP network that is scalable and
upgradeable
Different radio interfaces which can be mixed
and matched
Voice, data and interoperability on a single
network
Interoperability with legacy and new systems
The coverage and capacity you need
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Why IP-Network?
 Off-the shelf equipment and software
 IP network can be used for different purposes
 Customers already poses or build Intranet
 IP protocol, data compression and signal
transmission over IP – evolving technologies
 IPv6 – QoS, fixed addresses, IPsec, mobility support
 IP backbone for next generation cellular mobile
systems
June 2004 - M/A-COM Poland
Why IP-Network?
 HR support for IP (no problem with IT specialists)
 Easy to install and maintain (one Ethernet cable)
 Relatively processing power grows and prices goes
down
 Natural redundancy
 No problems with latency if correctly sized IP network
(dedicated routing, priorities, compresion 80%)
