tak around: the ability to communicate unit to unit when. ‘when working in a confined area where direct unit-to-unit ‘required. Users should be able to talk even when network infrastructure is w ‘The system should also support direct mode repeater and direct mode gateway. Push to talk (PTT). Group call or talk group. Full duplex voice systems. a Talker identification: the ability for a user to identify who is speaking at any given’ ‘time: Emergency alerting: this indicates that a user has encountered a life-threatening condition and requires access to the system immediately and is, therefore, given the highest level or priority. Audio quality: voice must be intelligible in the difficult noise environments. The listener must be able to understand without repetition, identify the speaker, detect stress in a speaker’s voice and hear background sounds as well without interfering with the prime voice communications. 2. Mission-critical data: + status messaging * short messaging * automatic vehicle location (AVL) and tra + packet data 3. Supplementary Services such as ambience listening dynamic group number assignment (DGNA) call authorization by dispatchers fast call set-up below 300 ms end-to-end voice delay should be below 200 ms long-battery life group monitoring dynamic regrou man down 4-Security: it should be possible to reconfigure and customize security features and algorithms, The following features should be supported: ' user authentication network authentication air interface encryption end-to-end encryption message integrity ale tolerantthe system should only very low call blocking levels (Ie ‘The system capacity must be sufficient to manage the in its functional design to also support communication during ‘ anticipated traffic. 7. High availability: the system should ensure high availability. 8. System reconfiguration: the system should support a rapid dynamic reconfiguration. | system capability to reprogramme field units over the air could be extremely beneficial. 9. Interconnection: the system should support appropriate, secure levels of interconnection or Satellite networks. The level of interconnection (i.e. all terminals vs. a percentage of terminal should be configurable based on the particular operational requirements. The conneetion can be d from a handset (terminal) or via the system dispatch 10. Power: terminal RF power: high (>4 watts) + base station RF power: high (>50 watts) * repeater RF power: high (>20 watts) 11. Openness: the system should be based on open standards that avoids vendor lock and supports further enhancements by the customer. 12, Scalability: the system should operate smoothly and seamlessly when it increases in size (more traffic, more users, more features, more channels, more spectrum, more network components, more interconnections with third-party systems, etc) 13. Cost: the system should have optimal architecture, components configuration and coverage arrangements for minimum cost. 14. Ruggedness: the police are spread throughput the region in mostly semi-rural, rural areas including © unfavorable and rough terrains. The system should survive and be usable in such circumstances, System components should be water-proof, dust-proof and intrinsic safe. 15, Architecture: the police have a number of semi-autonomous divisions that ean operate independently or cooperate with other divisions if necessary. The architecture should be such that divisions have a logically separate, secure communication only within themselves if they ehoose: 16, Network Size: * number of handset 000 + number of network devices: the vendor should devise an optimal number, a configuration of Base Stations, Repeaters, etc 17. Standard: DMR 3. Upgradability: the system should be able to upgrade (evolve) to br c technologies for public safety applications become ‘on software-defined radio (SDR) technology are
