Public Safety challenges1. Explosion of data sources →

human resources cannot collect and analyse all of them

2. Budget restriction and needs to reduce time allocated to bureaucratic tasks

3. Stressful situations → good to have some decision support without emotions

4. Lack of human resources for very large events

Why to take new technology into use in business critical organizations ?• Digitalization: information has

transformed to digital format, it is easier to use with new digital technologies

• Operational efficiency

• Safety and Security

• Regulations

• Business model changes

• Better brand image of companies who use new technology

Network level interaction of TETRA and new technologySecure MVNO service could offer TETRA and new technology services

Same container/platform tools for TETRA core and 4G/5G core virtualization

Integrated base stations (TETRA, 4G, 5G)

Integrated management tools – to view subscribers, capacity and coverage views of TETRA and new technology services

Operational level integration & User experience• User experience is the key for success

• Usability of existing TETRA/POL and new technology services• Use of security • Availability

• Change process • How new technology taken in use in

• Individual level• Team level • Whole organization level

• Changes to operational processes• Pilots

• How to prevent that one technology does not block use of other technology ?• Planning• Pilots

Device level integration with TETRA and new technology

• Hybrid devices with have TETRA and LTE

• RSM - Remote speaker microphones

• LTE sleeves with the TETRA devices

• Modular devices

• Existing install base in TETRA + C&C systems

• Voice + Data apps

• Partner programs for apps software companies

Examples of new technologies for new services –Airport environment

Robotics and Speech recognition

• Robot which gives assistance to passengers

• Apps to access helpdesk services for passengers (4G smartphones)

• Alerts for aiport personel (TETRA / Hybrid devices)

Augmented reality (AR) and indoor location

• Indoor location service for passengers (LTE)

• Resoures allocation for airport Operator (TETRA and 4G)

• AR could be the future of wayfinding

Biometrics

• Biometric boarding. Facial recognition have become more of a reality than a thing of the future, and contactless identity management via biometrics

• Gate personnel gets alerts to TETRA or Hybrid phones

• ID checks for security

Airport assistance

• Technology can help passengers with reduced mobility find their way with ease around airports

• App allows passengers to specify and personalize what help and assistance they need.

• Personal gets request to support from application via TETRA SDS text or via Hybrid smartphone app

When Hybrid model is in use (Tetra + new technology)

➔ easier to offers new apps level interaction for citizens and passengers (112 apps, airport apps)

Apps interaction

CITIZENS, PASSENGERS ETC.

CONSUMER APPS

Summary

• There several touch points and levels of TETRA and new technology integration

• Hybrid model enables use together TETRA, 4G/5G, satellite, IoT sensors and other new technologies together

• Apps for mission/business critical users could work together with apps for citizens, passengers and others
