29th November 2004 - At the annual TETRA World Congress
held in Vienna, Austria, Nokia unveiled its high-speed
data vision for TETRA. Nokia's choice is to integrate
high-speed data capability seamlessly into the Nokia
TETRA System. In the future, Nokia TETRA System is planned
to offer high-speed data services in addition to currently
available TETRA services.
Nokia is focused on taking an integrated approach, which
means that bringing high-speed capability into an existing
Nokia TETRA network would not require an overlay network
or additional network elements. This will secure the
customers' capital investments. In addition, because
the integrated approach results in single user and service
provisioning, billing and management for all TETRA services,
including high-speed data, it will also optimise operational
expenditure, which can form as much as 80% of the total
cost of ownership of a network.
What's more, the goal is to develop TETRA high-speed
data as a software feature, upgradeable over a remote
connection to the Nokia TB3 TETRA base station. This
means that planning the TETRA network for a subsequent
high-speed data upgrade today can achieve enormous savings
later.
"These strategic goals are an answer to future
needs. We predict not only that high-speed data will
bring more value to customers, but that high-speed data
will in fact become essential," says Matti Peltola,
Vice President, Professional Mobile Radio, Nokia. "Taking
advantage of developments in mobile data services will
provide TETRA users with a growth path and leading-edge
technical solutions. And Nokia TETRA customer will be
best positioned to fully exploit these developments".
"Nokia has again applied its innovation and systems
expertise to addressing the challenges in professional
mobile radio," he adds.
Nokia TETRA System is a complete solution, which provides
a full range of voice and data services as well as first-class
security to the users. Nokia has a proven track record
in delivering multi-exchange TETRA networks capable
of providing all TETRA services seamlessly and uniformly
countrywide. The open interfaces of Nokia TETRA solutions
enable true integration to command and control systems.
Nokia continues investing in TETRA radio technology
and systems for the benefit of present and future customers.
