• Manfred BLAHA, Brigadier-General – 3rd Vice-Chair, • Public Safety Communications Europe – Technology Advisor • National Crisis and Disaster Prevention Management, Ministry of the Interior, AUSTRIA • Jeppe JEPSEN – Chair “Spectrum Harmonization Initiative” • PSC-Europe – Motorola • Eric OLLIVIER – French Presidency & Ministry of Interior 1

Public Safety & Security Sector Needs

• Interoperability – Harmonized Spectrum – Single open standard • Special functional requirements – PSS organisations expects same functionalities as general public – but on mission critical network.

• Competition – Multi-vendor supply – Specialized vendors – Innovation 3

EU Public Safety Spectrum activities

• European Commission – COM on Digital Dividend Nov 2007 – Public Use of Spectrum – exp. Feb 2009 • ETSI SRDoc to ECC – FM38 first meeting on the subject 2-3December • European Parliament – Resolution Sept 2008 - Toia report • Council of the European Union – Police Coorporation – Expert Group on Radiocommunications 8

Mission Critical



Dedicated

• Public networks do not meet PS user requirements – Coverage, Availability, Security, Resilience, Interoperability, – Control, Functionality.

– PSS organisations expects same functionalities as general public – but on mission critical network.

• Public network operators are able to prioritize PS users, but…..

– When the public cannot communicate, who do they call?

Availability & Resilience, Control. 9

PS Applications & Required Bandwidth

Narrowband - deployed Wideband - available 2008 Broadband - no PS spectrum availble Video clip Large image transfer (100kb JPEG) Reporting (email attachment) Telemedecine Robotics Video Streaming High resolution images Video conferencing CCTV Satellite images & maps transfer Detailed Real time Biometrics Status & Text messaging Short Data Services Automatic Vehicle Location Telemetry Small image xfer Limited data base queries 25 kHz wide 25 - 200 kHz wide > MHz wide Channel Bandwidth

Police Cooperation Radiocommunication WG

●

Working Group issued by

-

EU Council / CATS / Police Cooperation WG

●

Terms of reference :



Specify the needs for radiocommunication linked with cross-border cooperation



Formalize a request for additional harmonized spectrum



Identify technical solutions to cope with the needs



Liaise with other entities at European level (standardization, frequency management)

25

SG/DSIC

WG work plan

●

Strong support from Police administrations

●

17 countries participating

●

Tight timeschedule

-

Interim report : december 08

-

Final deliveries : june 09

SG/DSIC

26

Expected Deliveries of the WG

●

D1 : Proposal for a EU council recommendation

-

for a mandate for ECC to identify additional spectrum for public protection and safety

-

to develop a harmonized and interoperable solution enabling data mobile communication in mission critical situations

●

D2 : Develop a report

-

Overview of the current situation (all, framework given by France)

-

Feedback from current experiments; list of requirements

(Netherlands)

Proposal for typical radio procedures for cross border cooperation

(Spain, Portugal)

Medium and long term operational needs, and assessment of amount of additional spectrum (Czech Rep., UK)

●

D3 : Request for funding an int’l roaming solution (Tetra / Tetra and Tetrapol / Tetrapol)

●

+ Liaise with RSPG, ECC/FM38, ETSI

SG/DSIC

27

Technical issues

●

Additional frequency requirement

-

Current spectrum allocation is not sufficient for high speed date in most countries

 

Identify additional spectrum on a European basis Digital dividend unique opportunity

●

Technology convergence



create native interoperability and roaming capabilities



action towards standardization bodies



address future communication requirements, including high speed data communication

28

SG/DSIC

Operational needs Resilience / Disponibility / Security

●

Ciphering and encryption

●

Mission critical communication

-

Availability of resources under all circumstances



operational even when public networks are congested

-

Resilience



Ability to work in crisis situation (major electrical disruption, transmission network failures,…)

When all public communication infrastructure are out of order, the radiocom network should be kept operational
