WHITEPAPERS

In all aspects of public safety, resilient communication lines are of utmost importance. However, the need for improved or extended coverage, new data capabilities and interoperability causes some tough considerations. In this – free of charge – paper, our experts discuss the pros and cons of different technologies.

A DMR trunking technology whitepaper from Caltta, discussing the technical advantages, system architecture and how the Caltta DMR solutions can help a variety of vertical markets in streamlining their critical communications.

This report provides an overview of selected technical and operational issues associated with the implementation of Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) using FirstNet, specifically focusing on consoles used by public safety agencies.

The white paper outlines the steady growth and evolution path of DMR Tier III technology and provides a comprehensive analysis on its market demand and future adoption in vertical sectors such as Enterprise, Transportation, Utilities and Public Safety.

Cell broadcast-based Public Warning Systems (PWS) is currently the most effective technical solution for large group emergency notifications above other alerting methods in the Americas according to a new report from 5G Americas, the industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas.

KENWOOD’s NEXEDGE Series of professional digital two-way radios launched in 2008, making 2018 its 10th anniversary. Over the last decade, NEXEDGE has evolved to include not only Gen2 products but also support for the DMR and P25 digital protocols. In this whitepaper JVCKENWOOD explains the benefits of NEXEDGE

efore today, every time you purchased a P25 land mobile radio you paid for the hardware plus all the sofware options. In some cases, the sofware options alone exceed 70% of the radio price. This buying model is outdated and we think it’s time the LMR market catches up to the rest of the consumer market. EFJohnson describes the industry’s first P25 subscriber radio perpetual sofware license program.

This white paper explores a growing trend when it comes to (P25) radio maintenance and examines new possibilities available to ensure radios are kept operational ready at all times.

The P25 suite of standards is evolving and continuing to grow as technology and user requirements evolve. The standardization of the TDMA control channel will enable multiple manufacturers to support this capability with interoperable equipment.

To get a better understanding, Sepura reviews the technological characteristics and key differences of the two technologies.

The open standard nature of DMR Tier III trunking has driven its emergence, ongoing development and adoption across global markets. In this paper, Andy Grimmett Head of Product Strategy at Simoco Group examines some of the many di erent technologies within the PMR/LMR industry and explains why DMR Tier III is emerging as the dominant PMR/LMR standard.

This paper provides a technical comparison between DMR and NBFM (Narrowband Analog Frequency Modulation) voice coverage. It discusses the measurable factors affecting coverage, how they affect relative coverage between the two technologies, and explains how these conclusions were reached.

Presentation of the comparison of TETRa and P25, written by Tony Gray, Chairman of the TCCA Broadband Group.

This document was prepared for the Association by Analysys Mason and published in February 2009.

A White Paper produced by the TETRA SME Forum, a sub group of the TETRA + Critical Communications Association. This white paper considers the performance, functionality, applications and interoperability aspects as well as the migration strategies for both the TETRA and DMR standards.
