TETRA is a system for mobile wireless communications and this is a highly topical and comprehensive introduction to the design and applications of TETRA systems including practical examples. TETRA is comparable in structure to the world-wide successful GSM system, however, individual features of TETRA are different, often more efficient and better designed than in GSM. TETRA is therefore providing an important source for the further development of standards for mobile telecommunications.

This volume is timely and one of the first to cover TETRA and related subject areas.

Features include:

• Detailed discussion of public and private mobile communications domain
• Architecture, components and services of TETRA
• Design and operational aspects of the system
