TETRA: Standard Public Safety Trunked Radio SystemsProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: Practel, Inc. Published: November 2005 Product Code: R606-29 Description Overview Requirements for public safety and homeland security mobile communications systems are rapidly evolving as a direct result of recent world events. Many government organizations are contemplating significant capital investment in upgraded communications systems while hoping, if possible, to leverage systems already in use. However, law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local level have, over time, employed a range of independent and sometimes proprietary systems. These systems' differences have often times precluded fast and easy sharing of information between departments or even limited basic interdepartmental communications. This report is written in the time when the civilized world is at war with terrorism. Addressing the technical aspects of effective communications between first responders and agencies involved in this war at the first line of offense and defense is very important. This is why we see the report as a necessary document to analyze the TETRA technology and the market for the first responders' radios. This report consists of the two major parts and it addresses the following major items: -Technology Standardization process Trends Requirements Specifics Roadblocks Architecture. -Market Trends Specifics Modeling Forecast Vendors and their portfolios. Note that the authors' perception is that TETRA and P25 standards are prevailing, and they are and will dominate the market for public safety radio. Such conclusion is a result of our thorough analysis of the current technological and marketing trends. Though we mention in the report other trunked techniques (which we call pre-standard), our attention is concentrated only on TETRA radios. The significance of this report is difficult to overestimate. We are producing a document, which analyzes a complex of issues associated with the use of the first responders' radios and we are evaluating the current problems with telecommunications technology to support first responders. We show technological trends and developments of the market for radios, and we stress the importance to equip the police, firefighters and others with the most advanced means of communications. In the today environment, this is not a luxury, but a matter of live or death for many people. We found lack of the information in this arena, especially in the public domain.
