Airbus TETRA Systems

INTRODUCTION TO AIRBUS TETRA SYSTEM NETWORK

Core network switches and servers are the heart and brains of a TETRA system. The Airbus TETRA switches and servers from Airbus DS are the only high-end telecom grade switch platforms on the market. Thanks to the technology used in its hardware and design, they are a platform you can trust.

All Airbus TETRA switch platforms allow you to share one TETRA System network between several organizations. Each of these organizations can use the services as if they were the only user of the network. The radio users, groups, and call rights within each user organization can be controlled independently. This unique feature of Airbus DS TETRA core networks offers a cost-efficient solution to network investment and helps to reduce the costs of network operation and administration.

Each organization can have:

Network management platform to manage the radio subscribers, groups, organization blocks, and other TETRA network elements
Own Dispatchers stations for voice and data communication;
AVL monitoring for the location of its own users
Communication recording, to record and replay all the communication made inside their own organization

Each organization can manage and monitor the radio subscribers belonging to their own organization. By default, only one organization is created: the main organization that has top rights. It is possible to create more 'main level organizations' and each main level organization can have several sub-levels or departments. Organizations can be independent or allowed to have communications between them.

Tetra Base Stations

TB3 series TETRA Base Stations provide the wireless and mobile communication in the TETRA system. The TB3, TB3c, TB3p and TB3hp base stations family, provide the flexibility to address a wide variety of network topologies, providing the best network coverage and reliable service in a very cost efficient manner. They are all based on the Airbus DS third-generation base station platform. The TB3 base stations is the most advanced TETRA base station available in the market today and boosts features such as six (6) receiver diversity providing for superior RF coverage.

Dispatch Work Stations

The dispatching family of the Airbus TETRA system is composed by the DWS management and dispatching solutions as also the advance RCS 9500 products. The DWS-M (Management) provides administrative facilities with standard PC-based tools for the management of subscribers, groups, group areas, dispatchers, organizations and other workstations. The RCS 9500 is a pure Voice over IP radio dispatch console, providing quick access to TETRA communication features and versatile interfaces for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and call taking systems. Handling communication services for individual calls, group calls, emergency calls, status, SDS messages, PSTN/PABX and interfacing with external systems.

RCS9500 TETRA Dispatching Solution

Operations Manager 100 (OM 100)

Is a mapping application that lets dispatchers see:

the location
the status
the active TETRA talk group of each mobile unit.

Thanks to the OM 100, the dispatcher sees where each unit is. He also sees which unit can accept a new task. When there is an incident, he knows exactly which unit is closest and can be sent to the task.

Dispatcher can define how often mobile units update their location. The update can be based on the time passed, or on the distance traveled.

Track the units
The OM 100 helps track the units. It lets you set up automatic tracking of units. The dispatcher will get an alert if a mobile unit strays from a pre-planned route or from the duty area.

The OM 100 also has geofencing. The dispatcher can draw an area on the map and set up automatic tracking inside this area. This is useful for tracking

a convoy
the movement of VIPs
vehicles moving money or valuable goods
areas under guard.

Other Key Elements of the TETRA system

Network Management Options
Airbus DS offers several different tools for the centralized management of TETRA networks. They are based in an easy to use graphical interface, and its powerful functionality gives you complete control of your TETRA network including features as fault analysis, trouble management and more.

High Speed Data
The Airbus DS TETRA system is capable of using high speed data solutions, offering TEDS and broadband data using LTE. They have existing networks with fully functional high speed and broadband solutions. Airbus DS TETRA allows the use in parallel of TETRA voice services and broadband data transmission.

Gateways, Connectivity Servers, Applications
The TETRA system offered by Airbus DS has many options for interfacing to external services and communication systems for user specific needs. They have interfaces to analog networks, PSTN/PABX interfaces, internet, voice and data subsystems and intranets. They offer API (Application Programming Interfaces) for 3rd party client applications as control rooms, location services, database inquiries, and many more.
