The Etherstack LMR-IWF switching platform is software deployed in the UK that acts as a bridge between the traditional digital radio network to the new network.

Etherstack’s innovative 3GPP compliant IWF solution is deployed into secure, highly available data centres across the U.S. to provide the crucial bridging technology between LMR (land mobile radio) networks and FirstNet—America’s public safety network.

With the increasing development of critical broadband networks, the key issue for network operators is how to ensure mission critical services delivered over broadband interwork with the existing narrowband LMR networks such as TETRA.

The ultimate goal is for this platform to simultaneously support various 3GPP radio communication standards, bringing together protocols, requirements and specific needs derived from the supported technologies.

This new document describes in more detail the relation between the interworking functionality and the TETRA SwMI from the perspective of operators and users.

New South Wales State Emergency Services (NSW SES) has selected SmartConnect from Motorola Solutions to extend the reach and capacity of its mission-critical radio communications.

As the industry moves away from proprietary implementations with limited data capabilities towards full LTE/MCX-rich data environments, R5 is the obvious choice for TETRA mobile replacement.

Efforts to replace the Airwave TETRA network with a new Emergency Services Network (ESN) may be gaining momentum.

Etherstack's offering to connect existing public safety PMR/LMR networks to carrier-hosted MCPTX is gaining global traction.
