Demonstrations; GIS systems, task management for airports and a framework to integrate broadband data transmission between TETRA and mobile broadband networks.

Siemens Communications, Media and Technology (Siemens CMT) has been demonstrating a number of products and features at TETRA World Congress in Dubai. The demonstrations highlighted the major features of its TETRA solutions and include:


Geographical Information Systems for TETRA: GIS products on show include a cutting-edge dispatcher system with a fully integrated Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) and an Automatic Personal Location System (APLS) as well as a geo fencing solution and an additional tracking or alarm feature, which provides information to the dispatcher whenever a resource enters or leaves predefined zones. This is particularly useful in high-risk areas. 


TETRA for Airports: On show was an application suite for task management in airports as well as other areas where safety is paramount. This Siemens application presents a versatile communication and data transfer platform and can considerably increase the efficiency of resource allocation. The Siemens CMT professional mobile radio portfolio TETRA for Airports offers powerful tools for airport communication as well as workflow and workforce management, allowing you to control operations as diverse as check-in, security, baggage handling or the vehicle fleet.


Siemens TETRA Broadband Extension: TETRA Broadband Extension (BE) provides a framework for integrating broadband data transmissions between TETRA environments and mobile broadband networks, without having to make prohibitively large investments. Systems, such as LTE, can be merged, offering the best of both worlds. And, of course, end-to-end encryption and a flexible architecture are guaranteed. This new solution is especially suited for data services used in disaster management.
