TETRA and Critical Communications Association announces new Whitepaper on TETRA Data Solutions
The TETRA and Critical Communications Association (TCCA) today announced that they released a new Whitepaper (TETRA Data Solutions – The Current Status) on the use of TETRA data solutions.
According to the TCCA, TETRA data services are increasingly being used as part of critical communications solutions to give operational and efficiency gains. With its rich feature set, TETRA is an attractive bearer for a growing number of data applications.
Features and functionality common in TETRA terminals, such as GPS, RFID, ‘man down’ alarms, Wi-Fi, and SDS cards, are being harnessed as part of the data solutions. Some applications are being designed as bearer-independent, to enable and allow interaction with other technologies such as GSM and LTE.
This new white paper is designed to give a high level overview of how these advances in data applications can enhance the value of an existing TETRA system, and/or provide a new level of service where security, resilience and robustness are operational necessities.
