Multi-Vendor TETRA and Private Mobile Radio Objectives
MADRID, SPAIN, TETRA World Congress (Stand C1), June
12, 2007 - Tyco Electronics announced today that its
M/A-COM business, a worldwide leader of critical radio communications
systems, joined the TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) MoU (Memorandum
of Understanding) Association. Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM business
joins companies that supply equipment meeting the TETRA standard
as defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
As a member of the TETRA MoU Association, Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM
business supplies and supports various technologies and initiatives
with open multi-vendor objectives to complement TETRA, maintaining
the requirements of Private Mobile Radio users.
“We are honored to welcome Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM business, a major
player in the land mobile radio communications business, to the TETRA MoU
Association,” said Phil Godfrey, chairman, TETRA Association. “The association
has worked hard to build a membership of dedicated and highly-regarded companies,
like Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM business, that we can work together with to
continue to deliver effective interoperable technology standards and solutions
for the mobile radio communications industry.”
The Tyco Electronics M/A-COM TETRA offering will be exhibited and demonstrated
at TETRA World Congress 2007 in Madrid, June 12-14, at Stand C1.
Based on the M/A-COM VIDA (Voice Interoperability Data Access) network,
the M/A-COM TETRA solution enables the operation of multiple digital radio
protocols on a common universal networking platform, including the TETRA
protocol. Because of this architecture, the M/A-COM TETRA solution creates
the optimal path for interoperability with legacy systems and delivers the
foundation for migration to tomorrow’s communications solutions. M/A-COM
VIDA networks are deployed globally, and support such diverse radio protocols
as conventional analog, EDACS, P25, and OpenSky, as well as supporting legacy
system interoperability and serving as management and configuration networks
for M/A-COM’s WiMAX solution.
“The TETRA MoU Association is an important influence in support of
the TETRA standard and in fostering the development of advanced solutions
compatible with this evolving standard,” said Dr. John Vaughan, senior vice
president and wireless chief technology officer, Tyco Electronics. “We expect
our membership to benefit us and more importantly, our customers.”
