Victor Hernandez of Teltronics

The objective of this presentation is to provide a general knowledge of the TETRA Technology and its high value when it is applied to Public Safety and Mission Critical Solutions. Nowadays, technology is everywhere, specially in regards to telecommunications. In this era every officer, bus operator, train driver, forest ranger, etc; needs to be connected, located and coordinated with high quality and effective telecom systems. The TETRA technology allows the end user to control, coordinate and manage large fleets of suscribers in wide areas with a spectrum efficient radio network. This technology fully integrates voice and data allowing the end user to maximize the network functionality and performance. However, TETRA technology has limitations and practical considerations that have to be addressed and could create risks for the design and implementation of the systems.
