Summary
• Initial Planning for Expansion
• Feature / Software Release Plans
• Upgrade to Integrated TETRA1 Plus
TETRA2 TEDS (TETRA Enhanced Data
Services)
• Frequency Allocation Matters
• Conclusions
Initial Planning for Expansion
• Plan for additional switching
centres
• Plan for phased completion of
coverage
• Channel addition to base stations
as traffic grows with time
• Sizing of databases for the final
capacity
• Plan for external interfaces and
their introduction time-plan
• Subscriber differentiation via VPN
Feature Release Plans
• Identify currently available features
• Confirm the upcoming feature release
plans
• Commercial trade-off against future
functionality
• Secure a realistic timetable for feature
releases
• Take into account the need for the TIPS
process for certain features and the time
impact
What Services? What Data Speeds?
• Is single slot TETRA1 sufficient
• Do you require TETRA1 multislot operation
now or in the near future
• What are the likely speeds required for the
future
• Is low complexity low speed TEDS
sufficient
• Do you require medium or high speed TEDS
in the future

TEDS Technology Parameters
• Multi-carrier platform with TDMA carriers.
• Adaptive selection of modulation and coding according
to propagation conditions.
• Agreed modulation schemes:
 /4 DQPSK for common control channel
 D8PSK for early migration requiring modest increase in speed
 4 QAM for efficient links at edge of coverage
 16 QAM for moderate speeds
 64 QAM for high speed
• Carrier bandwidths: 25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz.
• Expected user bit rates in the region of 30 to 400 kbit/s
• TETRA1 higher layer protocols to be adapted for TEDS.

Frequency Planning
• Frequency band allocation for TMO
(national)
• Frequency band allocation for DMO
• Subscriber density distribution to assist
channel allocation
• Cell re-use factor (cluster size)
• Cell sectorisation may provide benefits
• Channel allocation for the final network
• Availability of the spectrum for later TEDS
additions

Conclusions
• The TETRA standard provides a number of
provisions for future proofing TETRA
networks
• The level of these provisions is supplier
dependent
• Careful planning of TETRA networks with
due consideration for future growth and
services results in a wiser investment
• Such a network is expected to be
technologically competitive for the next 20
years
