in disasters and emergencies
And so is the number of terrorist incidents

Effective incident preparedness should be
on top of every government’s agenda

• Seamless communication capability between authorities
always and everywhere using purpose-built
communication technologies is of prime importance in
incident and disaster preparedness
Shared multi-agency network is an optimum
solution for authority communication
Hospitals
• All agencies share the same
TETRA network instead of
having their own separate
networks
• The wider, the better:
nationwide, province wide,
city wide
• All authorities retain their
privacy with VPN (Virtual
private Network) technology
provided by TETRA
Fire Dept
First aid
Police
Fast responders
Rescue
Benefits of a shared TETRA network for all
authorities
• Savings through shared use
• Enables efficient co-operation between authorities,
yet retains privacy
• Equal communication readiness everywhere
• No barriers caused by incompatible technologies,
because all authorities use same technology
• Seamless integration with ‘112/911’ emergency
response centres and early warning centres for
better coordination of operations
• Improved emergency preparedness for the safety of
the citizens
TETRA has advanced voice and data services
• Special voice communication
• One-to-one communication
• Group communication (one-to-many
communication)
• Push-to-talk, instant call connection
in less than 350 ms
• Dispatching and command and
control
• Advanced data services
• Status messages
• Text messaging
• IP packet data
• Java applications and WAP
TETRA is built for high availability and security
• Uncompromising security
• Authentication
• Air interface encryption, no
eavesdropping
• End-to-end encryption
• Disabling of stolen radios
• High availability
• Reliability and redundancy
• Pre-emptive priorities
• Queuing of resources
• Direct Mode Operation (DMO)
• Base station fallback
How does TETRA differ from cellular services such
as GSM ?
•
TETRA is built to provide extremely
robust and resilient service, which does
not collapse under extreme
load as commercial networks do
•
TETRA provides efficient communication
in groups of any size
•
TETRA provides instant call connection
in a fraction of a second
•
TETRA has priorities to grant that most
important calls get through
•
TETRA provides efficient dispatching to
steer and coordinate field operations
TETRA improves efficiency in all phases of a
disaster
3. Disaster recovery
1. Alert
• Evaluate the scale of the incident
with field forces using voice and
data
• Alert authorities (police, fire &
rescue etc.)
• Alert citizens
•
•
•
2. Initial response
•
•
•
Coordinate field operations using voice
and data dispatching
Create temporary communication
groups dynamically for efficient cooperation
Inform citizens
Coordinate field operations using
voice and data dispatching
Provide communication services and
coordination for external disaster
recovery resources
Keep citizens informed
TETRA enables instant alerting of local authorities in
incidents of any size

TETRA data services complement voice for
improved situation awareness
•
Status messages for quick
routine communication
•
Text messages to persons or
groups for fast and reliable
alerting and situation reporting
•
Send and receive digital images
to improve situation awareness
in command and control centers
•
Access databases to retrieve
and share critical information

Summary
• Efficient and reliable communication is crucial for
successful disaster preparedness
• TETRA is purpose built technology for emergency
communication and helps to save lives in all kind of
incidents
• Shared multi-agency TETRA network provide a
cost-effective and efficient means for efficient
authority communication
