The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently ruled in support of Terrestrial
Trunked Radio (TETRA) in the United States. This is great news for
digital radio specialist Sepura plc, one of many such companies
eyeing a slice of the lucrative US market pie.
Sepura
believes that the FCC announcement is good news for numerous
organizations in the business, industry, and land transportation
sectors. Those organizations have been contemplating switching to
TETRA digital radio communications, a standard that has been adopted
in more than 125 countries.
TETRA
is a spectrally efficient digital technology that accomodates four
voice (and data) paths in each 25 kHz channel to achieve 6.25 kHz
voice path efficiency. This allowed TETRA to met and exceeded the
12.5 kHz voice path “narrowbanding” efficiency standard set by
the FCC for the 450-470 MHz segment of the UHF band requirements. The
FCC was also satisfied with TETRA’s interference protection
ability.
According
to Sepura's CEO, Gordon Watling, the FCC ruling reassures potential
US customers regarding the benefits of TETRA digital communication
solutions. Sepura, the TETRA+ Critical Communications Association,
and its worldwide partners have been offering the proven, open
communications standard for global customers. Now the 9 million
professional mobile radio users in the US market will also be able to
enjoy the same quality of communications and productivity.
In
addition to being an expert on the TETRA standard, Sepura offers
mobiles/gateways, repeaters, and other wireless communications
products, such as its widely-used STP8000 and SRG3000 series. It also
offers 3T infrastructure solutions.
