SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, France-The European Telecommunications Standards Institute said the drafting of Terrestrial Trunked Radio standard Release 1 will be virtually completed by the end of the year.
TETRA is the ETSI standard designed for a digital Private Mobile Radio and Public Access Mobile Radio technology aimed at meeting a broad range of users. Main applications include shared systems for public and national safety, emergency and security services, public access systems for use by professional commercial users and private systems run by major organizations.
“The TETRA standard has now reached maturity with almost 95 percent of TETRA Release 1 finalized,” said Brian Oliver, chairman of ETSI Project TETRA. “However, like [Global System for Mobile communications], TETRA will continue to evolve and a significant effort is now going into the planning of the next generation of TETRA.”
