The Dutch Police Pilot TETRA Network
Voice calls were performed between mobile telephones and dispatcher station and the voice quality was excellent.
The multivendor trial network and terminals were delivered by Tele Denmark and are from Nokia Telecommunications. Additional TETRA terminals will be delivered by other leading TETRA manufacturers, Motorola, Simoco and OTE via Tele Denmark at the end of 1997.
In the coming months further functionality will be added and in-depth tested by the Dutch Police IT organisation.
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) is a new open digital trunked radio standard defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to meet the needs of the most demanding professional mobile radio users. A large group of European user and manufacturer organisations have participated in the definition of the standard. The TETRA Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was established in December 1994, as a forum to represent the interest of all parties in TETRA, including users, manufacturers, operators, test houses and telecom agencies. Today the TETRA MoU represents 68 companies from 14 countries world-wide. According to estimates, TETRA-based systems will have 5-10 million users by the year 2010.
