Abstract

The emergency services which we all take for granted will in future need high speed mobile data transfer to deliver these services to the people who need them. There are, however, numerous obstacles to implementing high speed data functionalities for PSS (Public Safety and Security) organizations; the two main critical factors being the limited available spectrum to deliver these emergency services as well as the challenge of financing the necessary modifications to improve the current system. The study undertaken here seeks an answer to the question of how to meet the future needs of PSS organizations by devising a number of hypothetical scenarios for investigation. The contemporary mainstream technology, TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio), is chosen as the scenario starting point when defining the roadmap of the future solutions. Using the scenario planning method, which is based upon the change forces identified, four future scenarios are defined, the timescale being the next ten year period up until 2022. According to the scenarios defined, alternative strategies for network operators are proposed. The following conclusions have been drawn: (1) emergency services need a dedicated network, the commercial BB (broadband) cellular network is, nevertheless, a feasible solution for non-critical data transmission; (2) the radio spectrum needs to be allocated for WB (wideband) in the
