TEDS is now multivendor!
Iscom issued the 1st multivendor TEDS IOP certificates to Apsi, Cassidian and Motorola
Iscom issued the 1st multivendor TEDS IOP certificates to Apsi, Cassidian and Motorola.
The results presented in the TETRA Interoperability Certificates are derived from evaluating the information exchange between live TETRA terminals and live TETRA infrastructures, this constitutes IOP certification testing. The IOP certification testing is done in a multi vendor environment testing the interaction between different brands of equipment.
The certification testing is based on IOP test plans. The IOP test plans are focused on testing the requirements of one or more corresponding TETRA Interoperability Profile (TIP).
Each TETRA Interoperability Profile (TIP) is based on ETSI TETRA standards. They primarily constitute a clarification of the ETSI TETRA standards and may impose limitation to the implementation of TETRA functionality compared to the ETSI standards. This is to achieve a market consisting of interoperable TETRA equipment.
With the currently available IOP test plans all certification testing focuses on functionality on the OSI model layers two, three and higher thus being frequency band independent. The test results derived is solely dependent on the implementation of the protocol stack, therefore if the same protocol stack is used in several pieces of equipments it may be assumed that all pieces of equipment will exhibit the same protocol behaviour and that results of testing protocol dependant functionality should be the same. The physical layer is used as means for conveying information between the terminals and the infrastructure, no physical layer functionality is evaluated.
Testing of frequency band related functionality is part of the type approval testing.
