TETRA Network
Monitoring and
Optimizing System


SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

-2-
Introduction:

1. Special Communications Commission (SCC ) is considering buying a
24/7 real-time TETRA service monitoring & optimization tool to be
used on its existing network with the following features:
System shall allow secure information sharing across multiple users
achieving significant cost and performance benefits on shared Public
Safety TETRA Networks.
System shall be TETRA service monitoring & optimization systems
for the enterprise and incorporates advanced heuristics and
knowledge based systems to identify, isolate and indicate the
presence of performance impacting events
System shall deliver real business benefits through cost savings and
performance enhancements, achieved through its network of
autonomous probes and client-server multi-user access architecture
System shall give users, integrators & operators of TETRA Networks
a comprehensive real-time view of coverage and performance.
The system shall be designed from the outset to facilitate automatic
information gathering, analysis and dissemination for users of shared
public safety TETRA networks. Networks of independent fully
autonomous probes gather network coverage and performance data
on a 24/7 real-time basis.
The system shall have Fixed Probes monitoring network
infrastructure whilst roaming probes fitted to operational vehicles
automatically capture geographical drive test coverage &
performance data every time the vehicle moves.
