IntroductionThe Australasian Critical Communications Forum is a chapter of The international Critical Communication Association (TCCA)
TCCA represents some 140 organisations from around the world, bringing together all those with an interest in the provision of standardised wireless communications in a mission critical or business critical environment. Our Members are drawn from end users, operators and industry across the globe.
TCCA believes in the principle of open and competitive markets worldwide through the use of common standards and harmonised spectrum.
TCCA works closely with the organisations responsible for the development of standards relating to critical mobile communications. These include ETSI and 3GPP who develop and maintain standards for public mobile networks.
TCCA has a number of int’l work groups that have been formed to specifically support the Association’s objectives. Several Regional Forums like Australasian Critical Comms Forum support
Applications Working Group, Technical Forum (TF), SCADA, Smart Grid and Telemetry
Group Transportation Group Marketing Group,
Broadband Industry Group (BIG), Critical Communications Broadband Group
(CCBG) Security and Fraud Prevention Group (SFPG) TETRA Industry Group (TIG) – external
Highly successful ETSI MCPTT Plugtests
Further MCX Plugtestsplanned in 2018/19.
Open Source (OS) platform & APIs for MCPTT apps
published and in continuing development.
High interest amongst device and other vendors as
well as users.
Collaboration on test & certification of Mission
Critical UE devices.
Need for support from test equipment manufacturers.
Market Representation Partner (MRP).
Partnership Projects
TCCA has a number of ongoing global partnerships particularly relating to the evolution of mission critical radio technologies and supports the development and implementation of 4G/5G critical broadband
Professional LMR/PMR two-way radio systems are predominantly, although not exclusively, built around voice and low bandwidth data/messaging applications.
They have evolved highly sophisticated and wide-ranging and mission critical features based on fast connecting push-to-talk (PTT) technology e.g. TETRA, P25 and DMR.
Private LMR/PMR networks allow end user organisations to control their own infrastructure, coverage, capacity and spectrum, either directly or via a dedicated managed service.
.
What Typically Defines Mission Critical • Network availability 99.999% this typically means extreme high level redundancy and no single points of failure• Application traffic prioritisation, individual, group,
broadcast and emergency calls • Fast PTT call setup time – immediate call
connection• End to End Encryption
Digital LMR/PMR NB systems provide a wide range of users with reliable, secure and highly available “mission critical’ secure voice and low bandwidth data communications based on instant push-to-talk (PTT) technology.
Current Reliance on digital NB technology for mission critical LMR/PMR users
Benefits of standards : Why standardsTechnology standards provide assurance that products, services and systems are compatible and
will interconnect to protect user and business interests.
Standards create a constantly evolving ecosystem of investment, development and manufacturing, a competitive price environment and can signify confidence and security
Support all aspects of conformity and interoperability facilitating integrated solutions including compatibility or connectivity with other products, services and systems - reduces unnecessary variety in the marketplace
Encourage competition, competitive price environment, innovation and associated economies of scale globally
Risks of proprietary solutions:
Fragmented markets, potentially even negating global standardisation efforts
by creating ‘de facto standards’.
Potentially costly and technically risky due to single-source lock-in.
Incompatible networks & technologies
And “pre-standard” is not a definition that is recognised by any Standards
Development organisation and is simply a “marketing exercise”
Standardisation Benefits Clearly proven over years in the PMR/LMR/Public Cellular industry by TETRA, P25, DMR, GSM, UMTS, GSM-R, 4G (5G)
Transition LMR Broadband/LTE 4G/5G
Live video streaming,
Large file transfers, office applications in the field
instant telemetry (e.g. from ambulance to hospital)
Access to intranet, Secure internet browsing
all these apps and features are made possible by adding broadband LTE capability to professional LMR/PMR radio networks, will improve efficiency, safety and productivity
Professional Mobile Radio users want the same capabilities that we have on our smartphones
Public safety and mission critical User organizations want the same capabilities that we have on our smartphones BUT they also need mission critical functionalities, coverage, availability and security.
These smartphone capabilities include:
Requirements resulted in the development of
Mission Critical Broadband by 3GPPThe foundations for mission critical LTE have been standardised by the 3GPP standardisation body and the relevant mission critical features are being enhanced as specific use cases for critical applications are developed in the relevant 3GPP 4G and 5G releases
The role of 3GPP
(Graphic ©Qualcomm)
3GPP is part of the invention, proof of concept, standardization, trials, commercialization …cycle
Its role is to specify and maintain a complete system description for mobile telecommunications
The system description is characterized by a number of standardized interfaces, not a description of standardized deployment
This standardization approach enables an interoperable, multi-vendor approach to deployment and generates mass market economies of scale, without stifling innovation

Mission Critical Broadband Transition Timeline Considerations and Roll-out
3GPP railway communications work will leverage the mission-critical services specifications and will add to the economy of scale when deploying critical and
public-safety features. Replacement of GSM-R
Critical comms user has no assigned frequency spectrum for LTE/Broadband network, shares spectrum/network with a commercial mobile operator
Separate service level agreements to guarantee quality and security levels can then be negotiated under a network operator arrangement.
Critical comms user with no dedicated frequency spectrum, acts as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and provides critical communication service over an existing (MNO) network(s) deploying its own database, apps. (SLAs required)
Critical comms user provides only the related applications while a mobile network operator (MNO) owns and provides the LTE/Broadband infrastructure service
