Working Group (SSTWG)
aims to help the TETRA
industry exploit new
opportunities, and enable
utilities and industry to
participate in and influence
the development of suitable
solutions for traditional
SCADA, telemetry and smart
grid applications.
The Groups main objec-
tive is to create a forum for
users, manufacturers, system
integrators and developers
to share experiences and
requirements, and catalyse
this market for TETRA. The
Groups inaugural meeting is
at 15.30 today in the Media

NEW VICE-CHAIR OF EENA NG112

W
olfgang Kampichler,
a Chief Scientific
Researcher at Frequentis
AG, has been appointed as Vice
Chair of the European Emergency
Number Association (EENA). He
is a recognized expert on Next
Generation (NG)9-1-1/NG112.
EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE
NOT WIDELY REACHABLE
OTHER THAN BY STANDARD
VOICE COMMUNICATIONS
While citizens use IP-based
communications every day,
emergency services are not
widely reachable other than by
standard voice communications.
Frequentis participates in the
NG9-1-1 Initiative which was
started in 2000 by the National
Emergency Number Association
(NENA) to enable U.S. citizens to
send text, images, video and data
to 9-1-1 centres.
The NG112 initiative is the
European equivalent. The
NG112 Committee intends to
establish requirements so that
emergency services can be
accessed via a range of IP-
communications. The work also
aims to make emergency services
more interoperable using Next
Generation Networks.

IOP TESTING COMPLETE

D
AMM has announced
completion of the latest
interoperability (IOP)
test between its TetraFlex
infrastructure software and all
major TETRA terminal providers.
The interoperability sessions were
carried out over several weeks,
under the supervision of ISCOM,
the TCCA-appointed independent
certification authority.
In a separate announcement,
Hytera reported that it too has
finished the official multi-vendor
interoperability test session with
its TETRA system ACCESSNET-T
IP and all relevant terminal
manufacturers, carried out at
Hyteras testing facility in Bad
Mnder, Germany.
The IOP certification testing
process is carried out in a multi-
vendor environment and tests
the interaction between products
from different manufacturers.
Certificates are posted on

suppliers benefit from a truly open

multivendor market for TETRA
systems and equipment. Users
can be confident that products
awarded an IOP certificate have
been rigorously tested and the
functions listed in the certificate
fully meet the TETRA standard.
This allows users who select
equipment from a number of
suppliers to reduce the amount of
system integration and testing that
they need to undertake.
Earlier this year, the TCCA
announced that the 750th TETRA
interoperability test certificate had
been issued, marking the 15th
year of the process that has driven
the global adoption of the TETRA
standard. Each certificate issued is
for a specific infrastructure-radio
terminal combination. n

ACCESSORIES MARKET INCLUDING ATEX TO SEE

SIGNIFICANT GROWTH By Deryn Evans, Senior Market Analyst, IHS

I
MS Research has conducted a
study measuring the market for
accessories for use with portable
(handheld) licensed mobile radios,
including batteries, chargers,
antennas, speaker microphones,
headsets, tactical headsets and
surveillance kits. The study revealed
that the accessories market was
worth an estimated $1.2 billion in
2011, with good growth in both
shipments and revenues forecast
for the next few years.
The conclusion that the
accessories market makes up
accessory markets including ATEX,
hearing protection and wireless
accessories, all of which are set to
see double digit growth each year
over the next five years.
ATEX is of particular note, as
in recent years there has been
increasing interest in TETRA ATEX
radio systems. Despite the fact that
ATEX was originally an EU directive,
it has been adopted in a variety of
other regions including Australia,
the Middle East and Africa, where
TETRA ATEX systems have been
installed by a number of oil, gas

Picture courtesy of Sepura

a significant proportion of the
Licensed Mobile Radio (LMR)
market, quantified and confirmed
something that had long been
suspected. Based on the fact that
there are tens of millions of LMR
users around the world, there is a
large user base with a requirement
and mining facilities where such
operations require intrinsically safe
equipment. It is estimated that at
least 5 per cent of all TETRA radios
shipped in 2011 were ATEX certified
and demand has continued to
rise since then. ATEX radios also
require ATEX certified peripheral Demand continues to rise for ATEX terminals

for accessories. Each radio in use accessories such as headsets and

requires a battery, antenna and
charger to function as a minimum,
but the most interesting story
is from the specialist accessory
groups. As well as examining
the standard accessories the
study also examined specialist
speaker microphones, as well as
replacement approved terminal-
associated accessories such as
batteries and antennas. In line with
the growth in ATEX systems and
terminals, ATEX accessories have
also seen increased shipments, and
IHS predicts that this growth will
continue as users are increasingly
educated and familiar with the
benefits of such equipment. n

Market Analyst in the Critical
