Improving Disaster Preparedness and Recovery with TETRA Hannu Vilppunen EADS Secure Networks Number of disasters is increasing Source: GSM Association: The role of mobiles in disasters and emergencies And so is the number of terrorist incidents Source: GSM Association: The role of mobiles in disasters and emergencies Effective incident preparedness should be on top of every government’s agenda Tsunami Terrorism Earthquake Typhoon Nuclear Chemical Disaster preparedness Biological Crime • Seamless communication capability between authorities always and everywhere using purpose-built communication technologies is of prime importance in incident and disaster preparedness Shared multi-agency network is an optimum solution for authority communication Hospitals • All agencies share the same TETRA network instead of having their own separate networks • The wider, the better: nationwide, province wide, city wide • All authorities retain their privacy with VPN (Virtual private Network) technology provided by TETRA Fire Dept First aid Police Fast responders Rescue Benefits of a shared TETRA network for all authorities • Savings through shared use • Enables efficient co-operation between authorities, yet retains privacy • Equal communication readiness everywhere • No barriers caused by incompatible technologies, because all authorities use same technology • Seamless integration with ‘112/911’ emergency response centres and early warning centres for better coordination of operations • Improved emergency preparedness for the safety of the citizens TETRA has advanced voice and data services • Special voice communication • One-to-one communication • Group communication (one-to-many communication) • Push-to-talk, instant call connection in less than 350 ms • Dispatching and command and control • Advanced data services • Status messages • Text messaging • IP packet data • Java applications and WAP TETRA is built for high availability and security • Uncompromising security • Authentication • Air interface encryption, no eavesdropping • End-to-end encryption • Disabling of stolen radios • High availability • Reliability and redundancy • Pre-emptive priorities • Queuing of resources • Direct Mode Operation (DMO) • Base station fallback How does TETRA differ from cellular services such as GSM ? • TETRA is built to provide extremely robust and resilient service, which does not collapse under extreme load as commercial networks do • TETRA provides efficient communication in groups of any size • TETRA provides instant call connection in a fraction of a second • TETRA has priorities to grant that most important calls get through • TETRA provides efficient dispatching to steer and coordinate field operations TETRA improves efficiency in all phases of a disaster 3. Disaster recovery 1. Alert • Evaluate the scale of the incident with field forces using voice and data • Alert authorities (police, fire & rescue etc.) • Alert citizens • • • 2. Initial response • • • Coordinate field operations using voice and data dispatching Create temporary communication groups dynamically for efficient cooperation Inform citizens Coordinate field operations using voice and data dispatching Provide communication services and coordination for external disaster recovery resources Keep citizens informed TETRA enables instant alerting of local authorities in incidents of any size Early Warning Centre Tsunami Warning ! Details: Attention. Tsunami warning … Alarm all authorities and field units simultaneously with broadcast text message and broadcast group call TETRA provides seamless communication with all relevant parties, also with those not using TETRA Direct connection to telephone switches of hospitals and other key organizations Eearly Warning Centre PABX PSTN Connection to public telephone network , cellular networks and the internet GSM Internet Inform civil authorities, foreign governments and other relevant parties Local public announcement and warning systems to alert citizens Command and control centers TETRA network for efficient coordination and communication in local disaster relief Local authorities using TETRA TETRA data services complement voice for improved situation awareness • Status messages for quick routine communication • Text messages to persons or groups for fast and reliable alerting and situation reporting • Send and receive digital images to improve situation awareness in command and control centers • Access databases to retrieve and share critical information • THR880i with integrated GPS for real location of field units, improved officer safety Tsunami Warning ! Details: Summary • Efficient and reliable communication is crucial for successful disaster preparedness • TETRA is purpose built technology for emergency communication and helps to save lives in all kind of incidents • Shared multi-agency TETRA network provide a cost-effective and efficient means for efficient authority communication 1956 Thank you ! 2006
