What about commercial digital What about commercial digital networks?networks?

GSM / GPRS / CDMA 2000GSM / GPRS / CDMA 2000 Public mobile networks do not fulfill all public safety

requirements.

Public mobile networks are developed to meet the demands of consumers, which are very different from those of public safety organisations.

Public cellular networks cannot provide guaranteed coverage, access, or resilience, not only during disasters but at other times as well.

Low switching and search time.


TETRA is an abbreviation of TErrestrial Trunked RAdio.

It has been defined and approved by the EuropeanTelecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to be the only official

European Standard for digitalProfessional Mobile Radio (PMR).

Accordingly, TETRA is a global standard for radio communication in the same way that GSM is to the mobile telephony standard.

Opportunity to ReorganiseOpportunity to Reorganise

From a decentralise to a centralise model

A limited nationwide voice communication infrastructure have put forward the necessity for

a decentralise intervention and command hierarchy.

A universal voice communication solution can bring back the opportunity to restructure the

current intervention and command model to a common operation one.
