Trans European Trunked Radio (TETRA) is a new open digital trunked radio standard defined by the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) to meet the needs of the most demanding professional mobile radio users such as utility- and oil companies, railways and authorities. 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 interests of all parties in TETRA, including users, manufacturers, operators, test houses and telecom agencies. Today the TETRA MoU represents 63 companies from 16 countries world-wide. According to estimates, TETRA-based systems will have 5-10 million users by year 2010.
Nokia is continuing to develop its TETRA system. Delivery capability will include complete systems encompassing exchanges, base stations, terminals, network management centres and dispatcher stations. Nokia has been developing TETRA for almost 10 years. Nokia has delivered its Actionet trunked radio systems based upon the open MPT 1327 analogue trunking standard to over 30 countries in Europe, Asia and Australia. Nokia is an international telecommunications company with net sales of USD 8.5 billion in 1996 and approximately 31,000 employees world-wide.
The Nokia TETRA System is a complete, digital trunked mobile radio solution for professional mobile radio users and includes both network infrastructure and mobile radios. Nokia provides global turn-key implementation and support services, too.
