<strong>TETRA</strong> <strong>Applications</strong><br />

Introduction<br />

2<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

Traditional PMR applications have been very tightly integrated into the<br />

underlying network technology, with no standards-based or open<br />

interfaces usually offered.<br />

In contrast, <strong>TETRA</strong> networks offer high-level interfaces that make it<br />

possible to integrate new applications as they are launched.<br />

<strong>TETRA</strong> systems from any vendor will promise the same basic functions, but<br />

these may not necessarily be available to the same timetable. Nokia has<br />

been the forerunner in many areas, particularly in messaging and data<br />

services, IP packet data, open application programming interfaces and<br />

network security, including authentication and dynamic encryption.<br />

Furthermore, the long experience and close synergies that arise from<br />

providing systems that already operate efficiently, can make all the<br />

difference between simply providing a laboratory demonstration and<br />

delivering a critical communication system ready for use.<br />

Manufacturers can also choose whether to introduce additional functions<br />

according to their resources. The Nokia <strong>TETRA</strong> system contains a long list<br />

of such additions designed to make communication easier and more<br />

secure.<br />

As the world's most advanced mobile phone manufacturer and a leading<br />

supplier of open standards-based mobile communication networks, Nokia<br />

seems set to continue as the leading open-standard communication<br />

supplier to the police and emergency services for the foreseeable future.<br />

This application catalog identities some software vendors and commercial<br />

applications from a large pool of products aimed at public safety use, and<br />

especially applications that can be deployed on the Nokia <strong>TETRA</strong> System.

CORTEX for Control Rooms<br />

8<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

Security and reliability are non-negotiable requirements for communications in the<br />

public safety environment. During emergency situations, accurate communications can<br />

make the difference between life and death.<br />

CORTEX is a modular software-Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS) for<br />

emergency services. It seamlessly merges radio dispatch, telephone call handling,<br />

video monitoring and web services into a powerful, networked communications tool.<br />

Automatic call prioritisation presents incidents directly onto the touch-screen consoles<br />

of operators, giving instant access to databases and applications within the same<br />

system. CORTEX enables calls to be routed and queued according to priority. The time<br />

taken to log incidents is reduced, cutting the dispatch time.<br />

The system incorporates the latest Voice over IP (VoIP), CTI and networking technology<br />

to make incident handling over dispersed control rooms easy.<br />

Organisations using CORTEX include the Metropolitan Police, Swedish Police, Norfolk<br />

Fire, London Ambulance, Fife Constabulary and the Police Service of Northern Ireland;<br />

BeanCounter – the complete billing solution<br />

BeanCounter is a fully convergent billing system, adapted for today's and tomorrow's<br />

telecom services . It collects data of any kind, from any source, and can present it on a<br />

single invoice. BeanCounter handles postpaid and prepaid subscriptions, based on<br />

CDRs or in real time. It communicates with all kinds of networks, such as GSM,<br />

analogue, IP and <strong>TETRA</strong>, and handles all types of data, e.g. GPRS, content, and event<br />

based charging.<br />

The data can be collected from switches, content applications and routers and the data<br />

handling functions cover communication with other systems and the creation of any<br />

output formats. Standard Basset components manage data handling, collection and<br />

forwarding of data within and outside the system, mediation, and rating. BeanCounter<br />

offers extremely high data throughput. Even when installed on inexpensive, standard<br />

hardware, BeanCounter processes 10,000 records per second on each server.<br />

CallGate – billing gateway and mediation device<br />

CallGate is a complete package for mediation. It communicates with all existing<br />

network entities, offers fast data handling, reads and creates any data format, and<br />

provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface, making administration easy.<br />

CallGate acts as a transparency interface between switches and data collecting<br />

equipment like billing systems. It collects CDRs (call data records) from the switches<br />

and converts the data. The CDRs are then forwarded to the billing or fraud system, or<br />

Comptel User & Service Management for <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> gives the operator up-to-date information on all the active users and<br />

terminals in the network and provides accurate service data and usage reports.<br />

Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> automates and harmonises the user, terminal and service management<br />

process and allows network personnel to concentrate on essentials - running the<br />

public safety network in a reliable and controlled manner.<br />

In shared <strong>TETRA</strong> networks, user management becomes a mission critical process.<br />

With Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> this critical task is simple and secure with the privacy and security<br />

policy incorporated with user and organisation data. Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> allows users to be<br />

assigned to organisations and terminals to users. By using predefined user profiles,<br />

the creation and activation of services for separate user groups or even positions<br />

inside the groups is simplified.<br />

Automatic information collection and single source reporting enables efficient and<br />

controlled usage. It provides tools to automatically identify unauthorised users and<br />

terminals and tools to minimise fraud and abuse.<br />

Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> also enables billing functionality. It rates and reports the collected<br />

usage information according to predefined criteria like user, organisation and<br />

terminal. Automatically published reports provide organisations with information on<br />

their usage and the operator with the ability to charge organisations. Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

does not, however, produce the final bill and ledger functionality.<br />

For emergency agents Comptel <strong>TETRA</strong> offers a secured and controlled way to query<br />

numbering and user information. This and other all the other functionality of Comptel<br />

<strong>TETRA</strong> provides operators, users, organisations and other interest groups with high<br />

quality tools to increase the reliability of <strong>TETRA</strong> networks.

FM2000 <strong>TETRA</strong> Portable Alarm System<br />

25<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

The FM2000 is a complete wire free alarm system in a case. Designed for rapid and<br />

effective protection of both property and personnel, the FM2000 uses a unique <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

& PSTN or GSM & PSTN signaling system for secure data transmission back to a central<br />

control room. In an alarm condition, an SDS message can be sent via <strong>TETRA</strong> directly to<br />

one or more remote terminals within a few seconds<br />

A wide range of detection devices are available for the system. Each detection device is<br />

regularly monitored by the control panel and a Class 6 system can also obtain a police<br />

response via the alarm-receiving centre, provided the system installation satisfies<br />

Local/National Police force criteria.<br />

All the detection devices used in this system are wire free and can operate up to 100<br />

metres away from the control panel.<br />

The central control point receiver contains a database that allows details of the<br />

alarm’s location, contact telephone numbers or any other information that may be<br />

required to be displayed when the alarm is activated. The receiver can handle alarms<br />

from a maximum of ten incoming signal paths.

<strong>TETRA</strong> Image Communication Arena (TICA)<br />

The image quality of a professional digital camera is always much higher than even<br />

the best analogue or digital video camera could achieve. To make the most of the<br />

benefits of digital imaging, <strong>TETRA</strong> Image Communication Arena (TICA) for Nokia <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

has been developed as a fast and reliable way of sending digital camera pictures<br />

between field units and Emergency Response Centers.<br />

Integrated with the general <strong>TETRA</strong> messaging scheme, TICA produces significant cost<br />

and time savings compared to traditional analogue film technology. TICA covers the<br />

whole process, starting from the actual digital camera images and extending all the<br />

way up to the dispatcher’s imaging requirements.<br />

TICAClient (TICAC) reads the images, image data saved by the digital camera and<br />

documents. TICAKiosk client program is available for computer assisted imaging and<br />

automatic robot camera applications. Data is saved on the computer and sent to the<br />

image FTP server and the TICAServer (TICAS), which acts as the front end for other<br />

applications using the image information sent by field operatives.<br />

TICAServer was developed with the requirements of professional <strong>TETRA</strong> users in mind<br />

and can be used for backup and secondary image and document transmission<br />

purposes. TICA offers standard cryptography functions with key lengths starting from<br />

256 bits. Images and text are stored in standard format for other application<br />

programs. TICAViewer (TICAV) offers tools for searching and viewing images on the<br />

server. The TICA mobile mug shot system goes one step further by providing a fast and<br />

cost effective way to get images and documents to the field. It also supplies other<br />

images such as tattoos, injuries, and weapons used or even stolen cars.

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

AVL Application Server is the KNOSOS designed high performance Fleet Management<br />

Server. It collects all GPS and non-GPS data from equipment installed in vehicles – the<br />

KNOSOS K8 GPS unit – processes it, saves it to a database and redirects the information<br />

to its client, the Third Party AVL Application.<br />

The AVL Application Server communicates with vehicles using the Communication<br />

Server. With the AVL Application Server, plus the Communication Server and proper<br />

Communication Connectors, a number of communication technologies can be<br />

integrated, including Tetrapol, GPRS, <strong>TETRA</strong>, GSM, SMS and Data Call, and analogue 2RP<br />

Radio.<br />

GPS information consists of: accurate date and time, geographical coordinates,<br />

speed, course, quality of the information, tracked kilometers. This GPS information can<br />

be originated in the vehicle according to different events:<br />

• Frequency-based programming of the vehicle<br />

• Distance-based programming of the vehicle.<br />

• Mixed frequency/distance programming<br />

• Event-generated position: Control Point detection<br />

• Direct query from the AVL Application Server<br />

• Emergency situation, obtaining a position each second in the best case.<br />

Several status signals can be generated in the vehicle and sent to the AVL Application<br />

server, together with GPS location information. Distress signals are usually very<br />

important in AVL systems and can be used to trigger emergency GPS tracking.

K8 GPS/<strong>TETRA</strong> v6 ® is a high performance GPS positioning unit, allowing GPS positioning<br />

of a vehicle and the transmission of its position to a control centre via a <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

communication system.<br />

K8 GPS/<strong>TETRA</strong> v6 has been designed for use with MicroNAV ® software or any other GIS<br />

based software. Data are transmitted in real time using SDS (Short Data Service)<br />

messaging. The K8 unit sends GPS frames drawn on the control centre software map.<br />

Transmitted information includes position, speed, heading and GPS time.<br />

Digital and analogue I/O can be implemented with the unit for remote measurements<br />

and control onboard vehicles.<br />

The K8 unit is connected to the PEI (Peripheral Equipment Interface) of any <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

mobile terminal, which acts as a modem. It is currently in use in several systems<br />

connected to, for example, NOKIA TMR 420 and Nokia TMR880 terminals, and can be<br />

programmed to work with any other <strong>TETRA</strong> mobile terminal. It also enables the serial<br />

connection of any peripheral equipment such as printers, and can be programmed for<br />

dual use with GSM/GPRS systems after integration of the corresponding modem.<br />

Thanks to its small size and compact structure, the K8 unit can be used in the most<br />

demanding conditions. KNOSOS can personalise the software within the K8 GPS/<strong>TETRA</strong><br />

v6 in order to achieve the desired functionality and the best use of the<br />

communications channel.

while the ability to view the location of vehicles and personnel on a map allows<br />

quicker and more informed decision making and faster responses. It also allows better<br />

management of critical resources such as expert staff, making it easier for the<br />

dispatchers to direct the experts from location to location as needed.<br />

The Control Officer and Dispatcher always have up-to-date information on the<br />

situation in the field – as there are no coverage black spots, the system works<br />

everywhere, both indoors and outdoors<br />

Location information is secured from unauthorised access and location information<br />

history can be stored and retrieved later. A whole situation can be recorded and<br />

played back for analysis, including the movements of entire crew and all vehicles.<br />

Automatic collection of comprehensive management information reduces the need for<br />

manual inputting and form filling, saving time and improving operational efficiency, as<br />

well as allowing a control room to manage resources in co-operation with other Public<br />

Safety organisations more easily.

MeditSense 100E for Pre-Hospital <strong>Applications</strong><br />

The MeditSense 100E allows pre-hospital public safety organisations such as<br />

ambulances, fire brigades and the military to record and send patient diagnostic<br />

information, such as ECG, Sp02 and temperature, to hospitals via a <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

network.<br />

Health personnel can use the system to view, print or transmit a patient‘s 12-lead ECG<br />

recording to experts at a receiving hospital, to determine appropriate treatment.<br />

Connecting any <strong>TETRA</strong> phone allows the patient information to be transmitted using<br />

the system’s serial port. In addition, the system can use any GSM/GPRS/LAN PCMCIA<br />

card for wirelessly transmitting ECG recordings directly to a central server or remote<br />

fax machine.<br />

Rugged enough to withstand water, as well as a fall onto concrete, the MeditSense<br />

100E also provides the highest quality diagnostic recordings with a sampling rate of<br />

2000Hz per channel. The 12-lead ECG can be viewed locally and transmitted on<br />

standard communication networks or using the <strong>TETRA</strong> network for secure and stable<br />

communications.<br />

Designed to be easy to use, the user interface is currently available in English, Spanish,<br />

Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Russian. Other languages can be easily added upon<br />

demand.<br />

The system consists of the MeditSense 100 recorder combined with the pre-hospital<br />

version software interface, tablet PC, and ECG cable and is packaged in a rugged<br />

carrying case.

<strong>TETRA</strong> Operative Application Server & SDS<br />

Service Gateway<br />

<strong>TETRA</strong> Operative Application Server (TOAS) significantly shortens the path to operative<br />

data applications. The TOAS system incorporates real-time network information into<br />

an easily usable and manageable package, making development of robust<br />

applications easier.<br />

The TOAS system comes with ready and tested standard applications, and cost<br />

effective customisation. Sample standard applications include:<br />

• SDS Service Gateway - for rapid provisioning of SDS/SMS based data services such as<br />

database queries and field data collection, etc<br />

• <strong>TETRA</strong> Message Centre - provides reliable messaging between <strong>TETRA</strong><br />

users/applications, GSM subscribers and other networks.<br />

The SDS Service Gateway software enables a professional network operator or user<br />

organisation to build managed SDS based services cost-effectively and reliably. The<br />

system provides SDS connectivity (e.g. via the Nokia CIS server), and a centrally<br />

managed environment for controlling and monitoring critical services. The SDS<br />

Gateway is a single, managed entry point to professional information services, which<br />

protects the back-end systems and guarantees availability of critical services. The<br />

system serves as a front-end to data sources and network applications, and provides a<br />

framework for introducing new SDS based services.<br />

SDS-based services are typically queries to a database or system by sending<br />

an SDS with a specific service keyword. The result of the query is returned as an SDS to<br />

the user.

ITIM – Financial Management for IT Services<br />

The ability to supply customised solutions as pre-packaged IT services and products<br />

rather than complete infrastructures is ever more important. The ability of an IT<br />

infrastructure supplier to serve each customer on the basis of their specific<br />

requirements is essential. At the same time, this places significant demands on<br />

agreements, pricing, invoicing, follow-up procedures, and quality assurance for service<br />

components. The problem is not simply to limit IT costs, but also using IT resources<br />

where they can generate more added value and clear customer benefits.<br />

SAS Knowledge Solution, ITIM, is targeted specifically for IT Service Management, a<br />

solution that concentrates the strength and energy of SAS software, skills and<br />

experience – addressing and resolving these business challenges.<br />

specific requirements. This includes:<br />

• A consolidated catalogue of IT services<br />

• Capability to package IT services in customer/account agreements<br />

• Billing functionality to support multiple billing methods<br />

• Pre-cost allocation, revenue and cost export to general ledger<br />

• Analysis of relevant information and reporting to those who really need it<br />

The ITIM solution delivers both detailed and total information on services, resources,<br />

customers and agreements, so it provides crucial support for your organisation’s<br />

efforts to introduce improvements in such areas as quality assurance, profitability and<br />

resource planning. ITIM comprises naturally integrated functions providing creative<br />

possibilities, continuous maintenance and forecasting simulations.<br />

Analysis and reporting<br />

About the company<br />

Secgo Software provides VPN software<br />

products for network security and Mobile IP<br />

software products for mobility management.<br />

Secgo's products are widely used in<br />

demanding business sectors, such as the<br />

public, banking and finance, manufacturing<br />

industry and military sectors. Secgo's products<br />

are to an increasing extent part of the<br />

TeliaSonera, Atea and IBM.<br />

Secgo provides software for secure<br />

networking and seamless mobility. Combining<br />

strong security with mobility management<br />

and supplying them with easy administration<br />

makes Secgo’s products unique.<br />

Transparency to the end-user means cost<br />

Mobile IP Solution<br />

49<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

Secgo Mobile IP is a mobility management solution. Based on Mobile<br />

IP, the Internet standard for mobility, the solution allows a mobile<br />

host to maintain its network address and all open networking sessions<br />

whenever and wherever it accesses the network. This means fewer problems<br />

with network connectivity, less configuration work, less IT support<br />

work, less stress, and considerably better usability and productivity.<br />

With Secgo Mobile IP, moving in and between different networks with a PC<br />

or PDA is entirely seamless and transparent. The user can maintain his<br />

current application sessions or the reachability of the mobile host when<br />

changing link media, for example from WLAN to Ethernet to GPRS to <strong>TETRA</strong> IP.<br />

Secgo Mobile IP incorporates several advanced features to meet the demands for<br />

scalability and performance typical of a mission critical network mobility<br />

management system. It relieves public safety professionals from the burden<br />

of configuring and initialising network connections, provides constant<br />

access to mission critical information and leaves more time for the<br />

actual public safety task at hand. Deploying Secgo Mobile IP reduces<br />

communications-related costs, as the user can always use the most<br />

suitable network connections, which are automatically opened and selected by Secgo<br />

Mobile IP client.<br />

The administration of the solution is also easy - constant reachability<br />

and advanced management solutions mean that all configurations and<br />

updates can be made centrally, with no need for action from the end-user.

Waplane – the ultimate mobile middleware<br />

Waplane enables on-line or off-line access to existing official and corporate<br />

information systems while mobilising business applications and databases, with no<br />

changes needed in the existing applications or databases.<br />

Supporting the <strong>TETRA</strong> standard, Waplane technology allows safe and reliable cooperation<br />

between public organisations, giving access to updated information where<br />

ever it is needed.<br />

Waplane Portal offers an access point to all information systems inside and outside the<br />

organisation, and displays all links needed by the individual user (news, CRM, ERP, Field<br />

Service applications, inventory systems, mail systems, relational databases, external<br />

links etc.). The layout of the portal, the links and the language used can be modified<br />

for each user.<br />

Administrators manage user profiles and application services that are used for<br />

organising the portal through a web interface or Lotus Notes client. User profile<br />

settings can also be modified in the mobile device. Basic authentication is made with<br />

username and password. However, there are various other methods available<br />

(MSISDN, RSA and PKI). Data transfer between Waplane and the data source can be<br />

protected using SSL encryption or VPN.<br />

Software platforms supported are Lotus Domino and J2EE application servers. Waplane<br />

also supports a wide range of databases and mail systems - PIM is a standard function<br />

on Waplane, which can be used with practically any device with a browser.<br />

Waplane features automatic terminal recognition to optimise the layout of the user<br />

interface layout for each device type. There is a Rapid Application Development (RAD)<br />

tool (Query Edit Tool) for easy definition of the data to be mobilised, to define how the<br />

data is presented in mobile devices, and to decide where to retrieve or save the<br />

information on the corporate database servers.

Sunit Car PC<br />

51<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

The Sunit family of vehicle mounted computers is a comprehensive range for<br />

commercial and utility vehicles. Each comprises a separate display and a standard DIN<br />

car radio size dashboard mountable computer unit, or alternatively a separate<br />

universally mountable computer unit. Displays range from 6.4 inch to 12.1 inch.<br />

This modular approach allows the selection of the ideal on-board computer for<br />

virtually any kind of in-vehicle application, including: commercial and utility vehicles,<br />

passenger cars, delivery vans, heavy and light haulage trucks, taxis, buses, public<br />

safety vehicles like police cars, ambulances, fire and rescue vehicles, customs authority<br />

vehicles, pilot and coastguard vessels, defence force vehicles, aircraft and machineries.<br />

Two-way communication using either GPRS or <strong>TETRA</strong> allows the office and the vehicle<br />

to keep in touch, as well as letting the office monitor each vehicle in the fleet. A<br />

standardised J1939 CAN-bus interface gives access to performance and utilisation data<br />

from the vehicle to measure and compare performance for individual vehicles and<br />

drivers.<br />

Sunit on-board computers fulfill vehicle industry requirements and ISO, IEC and EMC<br />

standards and all user and operating demands have been taken into account. This has<br />

resulted in unique features such as integrated GPS navigation and GPRS<br />

communication, a standard CAN-bus interface to the vehicle’s own control network, a<br />

safety camera system, intelligent guidance of computer start and stop according to<br />

vehicle mode, Integrated TV and Radio receivers, all in a compact, light and rugged<br />

configuration.

SWISSPHONE Alarming gateway<br />

52<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

The Alarming gateway connects a digital alarm network, based on the existing POCSAG<br />

standard, with the <strong>TETRA</strong> network. An independent alarm network is often needed in<br />

situations where indoor <strong>TETRA</strong> coverage is not possible or the organisation cannot<br />

afford a <strong>TETRA</strong> portable for every volunteer. The Alarming gateway is the link that<br />

combines these two networks.<br />

An alarm is easily generated by sending a status- or SDS-message to the gateway,<br />

which forwards the message to the alarming network. The gateway then checks that<br />

the originator is allowed to generate an alarm and reformats the alarm text into<br />

POCSAG code. It then sends a confirmation to the originator, even if the message could<br />

not get through the system.

TeleControl TC84i+<br />

55<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

TeleControl units are IO-devices communicating with Tetra SDS-TL messages. Their<br />

flexible operation logic allows them to be used in numerous applications.<br />

TeleControl is used directly from your <strong>TETRA</strong> mobile phone, which eliminates the need<br />

for additional devices. Alarm messages and measurement data are sent as SDS-TL<br />

messages to the appropriate users through flexible routing mechanisms. By ensuring<br />

that the alarm condition is brought to the attention of the users, TeleControl can also<br />

make alarm calls alongside the SDS-TL messages.<br />

Outputs are controlled by commands in SDS-TL messages and phone calls. Any<br />

command can be named according to the purpose it is used for, which makes the<br />

control of remote objects convenient and easy.<br />

Information security is always based on the recognition of the phone number of the<br />

caller or the person sending the SDS-TL message. In addition, a user rights level is<br />

assigned to every user, which effectively prevents users with inadequate rights from<br />

accessing certain features on the device.

Tetral<br />

59<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

Text Messaging or “paging” is one of the most useful features of <strong>TETRA</strong> technology.<br />

Users often find it more efficient to send short text or status messages that the<br />

recipient can read when convenient, rather than placing a call.<br />

Tetral is a Web portal to a collection of messaging and information services, consisting<br />

of several powerful tools that use the Short Data Service (SDS) for <strong>TETRA</strong> mobile<br />

communication.<br />

For <strong>TETRA</strong> users, it is easy to use, provides notifications from office to mobiles, gives<br />

fast retrieval of information and saves both time and money. Tetral’s target customers<br />

include all the professional sectors requiring efficient communication and data access.<br />

People in the office can send notifications to mobile users using a Web-based<br />

application or common e-mail. Mobile users can access their company e-mail server as<br />

well as other information systems over the Internet.<br />

Tetral contains a collection of messaging applications, including Corporate SDS, a<br />

service for organisations needing to send messages, such as alert notifications, to<br />

<strong>TETRA</strong> mobile stations. Access is restricted with a login interface.<br />

Messaging Centre is a convergent application to access an external mail server,<br />

internal calendars and contact lists through SDS, WAP or Web interfaces. Email-to-SDS<br />

is an interface or gateway where any user can send a regular e-mail message to one or<br />

several <strong>TETRA</strong> numbers. Tetral also offers access to a wide range of useful information<br />

services, such as flight schedules and yellow pages.

About the company<br />

As well as being the designer,<br />

manufacturer and maintainer of the<br />

DS2000, Vivista is also uniquely placed as<br />

a supplier to the UK Airwave network.<br />

Vivista has been Northrop Grumman’s<br />

sub contractor, within the Airwave<br />

consortium, for more than 3 years.<br />

During this time Vivista has been<br />

responsible for designing and<br />

implementing Airwave functionality<br />

within the Airwave infrastructure, such<br />

as the IP Gateway, the Analogue 4-wire<br />

gateway and the PNC Gateway, the latter<br />

providing Short Data and WAP access<br />

directly to the Police National Computer<br />

from Tetra handsets.<br />

Our unrivalled knowledge of the design<br />

of the Airwave Tetra Infrastructure has<br />

allowed us to optimise the DS2000 to<br />

take advantage of the many Airwave<br />

features available.<br />

NOVEMBER 2004<br />

DS2000 Integrated Communications Control<br />

System (ICCS) application<br />

The DS2000 ICCS is the hub of Vivista’s Control Room product range, designed to<br />

provide single touch screen control to a host of integrated subsystems. These may<br />

include conventional and digital radio, analogue and digital telephony, CCTV, voice<br />

recorders, intercoms, door locks and alarms. It can also interrogate internal and<br />

external databases. Over 120 of these DS1000/2000 systems are currently operational<br />

with the emergency services across the UK, representing a major investment in what is<br />

clearly the nation’s dominant Public Safety Control Room communications system.<br />

Control Room Interface Pooling<br />

The DS2000 is unique in that it will enable a customer to make more efficient use of<br />

<strong>TETRA</strong> system resources through a concept known as ‘Dispatcher Interface (DI) multimode<br />

pooling’. Simple Radio Dispatcher Terminals and other ICCS systems normally<br />

require each user to have a direct connection to a dedicated <strong>TETRA</strong> network control<br />

room interface.<br />

In the case of the DS2000, DI ports are connected to the ICCS common equipment,<br />

which enables them to be allocated flexibly, based on a variety of criteria and usage<br />

modes. This means that additional facilities are provided or, in certain cases, fewer DI<br />

ports may be required, with an associated reduction in cost.<br />

Control Room and Operator Friendly<br />

The DS2000 provides users with a simple presentation of the voice and data<br />

functionality provided by <strong>TETRA</strong> or other Digital Radio systems and this functionality is<br />

being continually enhanced to ensure that the full business benefits are obtained.<br />

These include point-to-point calls, Emergency calls, Group and Broadcast, along with<br />

the Status Updates and Short Data Messaging. In addition, the DS2000 will provide a<br />

call sign aliasing subsystem to ensure that resources are displayed in the most user<br />

friendly manner.

mTrack - Shared AVL & Communication Platform<br />

Location and status information are the basis of dispatching, command and control<br />

solutions. Accurate, fast and proper allocation of resources is a challenging task.<br />

Novo’s automated vehicle location (AVL) and messaging solution, mTrack, helps the<br />

dispatcher and field commander to maintain tight control over the fleet and other<br />

resources. Optional telemetry, routing and point of interest functions further expand<br />

the versatility of the solution.<br />

Novo's mTrack can track thousands of vehicles in the same environment. Its versatility<br />

means it can support many different positioning protocols simultaneously, such as<br />

NMEA and TAIP, as well as different communications networks, such as <strong>TETRA</strong> IP, SDS,<br />

SMS, GPRS and Inmarsat and even different user interfaces - Client/Server, Web or<br />

mobile.<br />

One of the main characteristics of Novo’s mTrack is the possibility of shared use of the<br />

system. A field commander can usually see only the position of his own vehicles and<br />

the system can be used in the same way as any small scale AVL system. However, if<br />

needed, the field commander or another dispatcher can use the same system to get an<br />

overview of the positions of vehicles from many separate organisations operating in<br />

the same area.<br />

The mTrack system can be decentralised or centralised depending on the required<br />

functionality, load and QoS requirements. Components that can be decentralised are:<br />

• mTrack Data Communication server<br />

• Database for communications and location/paging information<br />

• Database for digital maps
