RAKEL Upgrades TETRA Network to Release 7.4
This autumn, starting August 20, Swedish operator RAKEL (RAdioKommunikation för Effektiv Ledning) will be upgrading it TETRA network to Release 7.4.
RAKEL says that the upgrade of system, that was provided by Airbus Defence and Space, will occasionally have an impact on user organisations.
Equipment and applications that already are approved to the Rakel network, will automatically be approved for use on the new TSR7.4 network. The system and its interfaces are backwards compatible for the last two system versions. Therefore, a new approval for existing equipment and applications on RAKEL is not necessary. However, new products and software must undergo regular tests before approval for use on Rakel.
RAKEL states that all activities related to the upgrade will be announced in WIS, the RAKEL online information system.
