U(li(es provide essen(al services to their communi(es. Must maintain this high level of service RELIABILITY even (especially) in (mes of disasters and emergencies. § Lights must stay on! § Impact to hospitals and essen6al infrastructure must be minimized § Power plant incidents must be dealt with swi=ly and accurately § Police, Fire, Ambulance services rely on U6li6es before entering a high voltage environment, downed power line, gas leak, etc.

§ Purpose Built PlaTorm designed for Mission Cri(cal Communica(ons
§ 85% of users are government or public affiliated agencies
§ Mature Open Standard Technology in opera(on since early 2000’s § Number 1 digital radio technology in the world § Voice and DATA network § Interoperable
§ With legacy radio networks § With telephony systems (Full Duplex)
§ Future Proof
§ Migra6on path to hybrid networks (TETRA + LTE)
Presenta(on on behalf of the TCCA – The Cri(cal Communica(ons Associa(on
§ Easy to access emergency button § Voice recording for training and playback § Remote activation of speaker (ambient listening) § Lone or isolated worker § Internal accelerometer detects the angle and or tilt of the radio: Man Down § Activate Emergency procedures: Alarm, Send GPS, Central Command

§ GPS and operational positioning in REAL TIME
§ Ex: update a fleet of over 1,500 trucks every 20-30 secs
§ Geo-fencing and notifications in central command § Vehicle telemetry information
§ Speed & other vehicle information (maintenance) § Controls activation / deactivation (bucket, lifts, tows, salt) § Other I/O controls (doors opened / closed)
§ Coordination based on equipment, resources, skills

Broadband technologies not always necessary § Only ”Essential Data” at Generation and Transmission are high priority § Crisis operators need only critical data information for resource management Reality: TETRA narrowband data capabilities can handle all required critical information such as SCADA, Telemetry, GPS and integrate them into the Command and Control Center where all company resources are geographically located and accessible TETRA Central Command & Control Cri(cal Data
Presenta(on on behalf of the TCCA – The Cri(cal Communica(ons Associa(on
SCADA is key for u6li6es in such applica6ons as: § remote monitoring of overhead power lines § opera6on of valves, monitoring liquid levels § Fault passage indicators for lightning strike detec6on
