TETRA Association Forms Broadband Group as TEDS Products Launch

The TETRA Association announced a new mobile broadband working group within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) that will establish user requirements for broadband public-safety communications systems. The news follows the launch of the first commercial TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS) products at the TETRA World Congress May 24 - 27 in Singapore.
 
Although TEDS offers high-speed data rates of up to 538 kilobits per second (kbps), the new ETSI working group WG4 will investigate expanding TETRA for broadband with a tentative five-year schedule to complete the work and identify appropriate spectrum, said Motorola’s David Chater-Lea, chair of the group.
