The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force• Use of communication with other security authoritirs• In peace time, end terminals are delivered for selected

users- in accordance with the readiness requirements- for troops training and experience purposes- for safety communications in live firing exercises

• In time of crisis TETRA will be used for Command and Control of- military police activities- close area communications in important bases, such as air bases- protection of crucial objects- defence material deployment

Think countries need to be in order of TETRA contract size as it looks like China is the biggest.

TETRA use in Finish Defence Forces

Not declared looks weird. If they are not declared, how do we know. I assume it means 'country not declared? I suggest that these are added to confidcntial and are shown as one category. This is what I have done for the exhbn poster pie chart.Could also do with making the pie chart smaller?

Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield

Deployable TETRA systems are used by• The Norwegian Army• The Swedish Army• The Finish Army• The Italian Army• The Brazilian Army• ….

Norways Norways Deployable Deployable TETRA systems TETRA systems on the military on the military battlefieldbattlefield

First Step of Norwegian Military TETRAProcurement of a COTS product, especially ”developed” for support elements focusing interoperability, fleet management and ”asset tracking”.

Main objectives• Quick deployment• Lightweight and low volume

- Air transportable- Limited platform space

• Ease of maintenance, fault repair and configuration- Cause limited time to educate personnel- Remote maintenance

Operations and operation areas differ• Scalability / Modularity• Infrastructure flexibility (star-ring-drop-insert)• Capacity• Functionality

Project cooperation between NDLO CIS & Norwegian Army Signals

Equipment usage

Terminals in DMO

Switch, interfaces and dispatcher

System availability

Voice recorder, SDS- and voice- mailboxes

Base station in fall-back mode

Terminals in DMO and REP

Equipment preperations as part of the ”high readiness”

Network ExperiencesIn early stage of operation base station in fall-back mode

Program only one LA in terminal Terminal tends to make hand-over to other cells if the coverage areas

overlapStandardize as far as possible network configuration

Only one omni antenna used (duplexer) Easier and quicker installation

COTS in variable climate zones Equipment must be protected, dust, heat humidity

Fleet mapping Make it simple, but efficient for the mission Pre-programmed before deployment

User Experience ... So far•Young ”mobile generation”

• TETRA as part of a “high readiness/ base camp system”

•Rough conditions with 24/7 use, battery and auxiliary equipment

•Terminal range

•Voice vs data services

- Fleet management and “asset tracking”

- GPS tracking

Agenda

• The Theatre Independent Tactical Army and Air Force Network (TITAAN) from the Netherlands Armed Forces

• The Finish Software Radio Programme from the Finish Defense Forces Telecommunication Laboratory and Centre of Wireless Communications

• C4ISR Framework from the US Army CEDECOM Security Assistance for utilizing US grant funds

Military Programs considering TETRA as part of integrated communication solution

• The current features of TETRA- Direct Mode Operation (DMO)- Emergency call- Fast call setup

• And the features of the evolution version of TETRA- enhanced data rates- roaming with other Networks

TETRA is exceptionally advantageous radio access network in upcoming multinational

peacekeeping and crises management operations

Why these and other military programs consider TETRA
