TETRA TACTICAL DIGITAL MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM TETRATAC STT115GENERAL TETRATAC STT-115 is the Selex new generation digital tactical trunked mobile radio system complying with TETRA V+D Standard. Thanks to the wide range of available functions, services and features, the TETRATAC system can satisfy the needs of a variety of professional users encompassing the emergency security services and military applications such as peacekeeping missions and rapid reaction actions. TETRA is a telecommunications standard for Private Mobile Radio (PMR) systems developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute) as a European answer to the evolving needs of PMR Operators that have to cope with traffic congestion and a growing demand for speech and data services especially designed for professional communications. The evolution of digital technology gives a way out of this situation allowing high spectrum efficiency and coexistence with present analogue systems. STT-115 is the Selex new generation rugged digital tactical trunked mobile radio system complying with TETRA V+D Standard MAIN FEATURES New generation digital tactical trunked mobile radio system Complying with ETSI TETRA Voice+Data Standard Provision of advanced network and subscriber services Half and full duplex voice, data and video transmission Protection with encryption of all communications High reliability due to the capability to implement meshed topologies Fall back operation Integration in public ITU-T and military EUROCOM and STANAG standard Networks Radio CNR integration (CNRA) NETWORK ELEMENTS SWITCH CONTROL NODE The SCN is the network element that has the highest capabilities in terms of switching, networking and database management of mobile subscribers. It has interfaces to Radio Base Stations, Dispatchers, management system, and other STT115 switches. RADIO BASE STATION The Radio BS is responsible for connecting all terminals operating inside its own radio coverage area (cell).
During normal operations, the BS is directly connected to and controlled by the relevant SCN. Connection with mobile terminals is achieved by radio coverage that is compliant with the TETRA Standard Air Interface Protocol. SECURITY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE This SW kit allows providing the TETRATAC system with specific security features, like as customized solutions for Air Interface Encryption and End-to-End Encryption. Both encryption algorithms, natively based on ETSI standards, can be modified on request to Customers needs. The SMS package, in its full extension, includes the AIE and ETE customized algorithms, the relevant downloading packages to properly set-up the switches (SCN), the base stations (RBS) and the terminals, the overall key management system (generation and distribution facilities). It must be noted that this kit does not require dedicated HW platforms; it can therefore be installed on standard TETRA equipment without HW modifications or add-on s. GATEWAY SWITCH The GW switch is based on a dedicated TDM switch capable of connecting Eurocom and STANAG based wide area systems (WAS). Il also allows for integration with satellite bearers and Combat Net Radios (CNR). It can be physically accommodated into the SCN enclosure and be connected to it through an E1 port. MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & DISPATCHER TETRA Management System and Dispatcher is a software application running on Multimedia Data Terminals (MDT) contained in the Network Control Centre (NCC). MDT consists of a laptop PC, a voice Phone and optionally a Dispatcher Audio Console (DAC). TMS-D functions listed above are classified as Element Manager Functions, according to the terminology adopted by ITU (TMN M.3010). CLOSED VIEW TERMINALS Two kinds of terminals are available in the TETRATAC System: Portable and Vehicular Terminals. They both can operate in either Trunked or Direct Mode, allowing Voice and Data communications both in Half- and Full-Duplex Mode. The terminals are standard TETRA terminals; depending on specific security requirements, they can accommodate AIE and ETE customized algorithms. TETRATAC NETWORK DISPATCHER & NMS OPERATOR CONSOLE TETRATAC has been conceived to provide mobility to subscribers of already available Fixed Private Networks. In particular, in the case where the Fixed Network is compliant with EUROCOM Standard, from the customer point of view, the system acts as a mobile extension of the EUROCOM network. The system - when equipped with the GW switch - provides the requested connectivity with various interfaces (ISDN PRI, ISDN BRI, STANAG 4206 4212 and STANAG 5040, STANAG 4290, etc), while the 2Mbits connection inside SCN provides the possibility to establish up to 31 concurrent calls between mobile-to-mobile or mobile-to-fixed users. The following operational features are supported: Direct mode amongst terminals Stand-alone STT115 System Base Station in fallback mode STT115 System 1 connected to System 2 in transparent mode, via Selex GW Switch to increase the covered area (with the two areas near to or distant from each other maintaining all TETRA services and Hand-Over capability) STT115 System with external connection to other civil and military network and satellite (with GW switch ) TETRATAC System allows mobile subscribers to set up voice and data, individual and multiple, mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-fixed subscriber calls. The term fixed subscriber identifies both a user not equipped with a TETRA terminal but connected to a TETRATAC System (via Military Selex GW switch local connections) and a user belonging to any network connected to the TETRATAC System.
