TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) technology is a mature and proven technology in use throughout the world delivering secure, reliable and robust critical communications.
TETRA is an ETSI standard created from a groundbreaking collaboration within the critical communications community. This effort successfully established a standard designed to address the diverse needs of public safety and government users, commercial professional users, operators, spectrum regulators, manufacturers and all stakeholders involved in advancing critical communications.
TETRA is the critical communications technology used by governments around the globe. The rapid acceptance of TETRA by the public safety sector has catalysed its adoption by an increasingly wide range of markets. These include air, rail, road and water transport, utilities, mining, the oil and gas exploration, extraction and delivery industries, commercial, retail and leisure organisations – all benefiting from the unique properties of TETRA networks, whether using a large or small network deployment.
TETRA is regularly deployed to ensure resilient and secure communications at major sporting events including the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup and Formula One racing.
TETRA networks are deployed across the world, with millions of terminals delivering critical communications voice and 6 TETRA Pocket Guide data services, and vendors are providing open interfaces to ensure a wide range of applications and control room solutions are available for user organisations to select from.
The success of the TETRA standard speaks for itself.
This guide is intended as a brief introduction to TETRA.
