This document discusses TETRA and its limitations for meeting increasing data needs, and introduces TeMax as a solution combining TETRA and WiMAX. TeMax would provide greatly increased throughput of up to 20 Mbps to support applications like video streaming and database access. It presents TeMax as an open standard using proven technologies that can leverage existing TETRA infrastructure while future-proofing systems. Rolta is positioned as providing comprehensive homeland security solutions including its joint venture for defense and security solutions with Thales.
3. User needs have evolved
• Data that enables
– Instantaneous sharing of information
– Real‐time situational analysis
– Instant broadcast of critical alerts
– Collection of vital information viz. surveillance,
medical
5. High Data Requirement
Roadmap
Narrowband Wideband Broadband
Database querying,
Video clips, Video Surveillance,
Status & Text messages,
Automatic Vehicle Large image transfers Video Recording / Streaming,
Location, (100kb JPEG), Video conferencing,
Small image transfer, Reporting (with email Satellite images & maps
Limited database attachment), transfer,
queries, etc.
Telemedicine, etc. Real time Biometrics (Face
Recognition), etc.

6. TEDS is “just around the corner!”
• 2nd Gen. TETRA (TEDS) being developed
• Multi‐carrier platform with TDMA carriers
• Adaptive selection of modulation and coding
• Various agreed modulation schemes and
carrier bandwidths (25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz)
• However, still short of meeting new needs!
– Tetra 1: Max Data rate 28.8 Kbits/s
– Tetra 2 (TEDS): Max Data rate 160 Kbits/s (2010)
7. Thales TeMax – THE Solution!
• TETRA 3 – TETRA with WiMAX (TeMax)
• Thales has leapfrogged TETRA 2 and gone
straight to TETRA 3
• Achievable Global throughput of 20 Mbps
per transceiver
• Average throughput of 2 Mbps per subscriber
– 1000% greater than TETRA 2 (TEDS)
8. TeMax – Advantage WiMAX
• IEEE 802.16e ‐2005 for mobile services is an
approved Open Standard
• Strong support – Wimax Forum has 500+
members
• IP based, with a large supplier base
• Strong competition and cheaper equipment
• WiMAX complements TETRA, meets the
increased data rate requirements
– Network, VOIP, Web Browsing, File Transfer,
Streaming Multimedia (Video Conferencing)

14. TeMax – Multiplies TETRA benefits
• High availability TETRA is designed to carry on
working, even through disasters
– Capacity is always available, even during a public
emergency
• Less equipment to carry Voice and data applications
on the same radio
• User benefits from high level of security for all data
traffic
– No need to worry about which applications are allowed
to use which data service
– No need to worry that users might be sending sensitive
information over unsecured data services
• Owner/Operator benefits from high QoS, integrated
N/W Mgmt, common platform for statistics, fault
management, provisioning, etc.
15. TeMax – An Unbeatable Solution
• Huge advantage by combining TETRA &
WiMAX; both are:
– Proven technologies
– IP based and follow Open Standards
– Offer seamless integration
• Ideal technology to future proof TETRA users
– Existing TETRA PMR applications can be used
– Present TETRA infrastructure can be used with
available WiMAX terminals
– Leverage legacy investment with minor costs
• Scheduled release 2010
