ETELM VPN Manager System

ETELM has introduced its Secure VPN Tetra system allowing secure, virtual partitioning of its Tetra

User Database; so that Virtual Closed User Groups may be partitioned over a single Tetra Network.

This application is an administration tool for managing and updating VPN configuration data. Using

the ETELM VPN Manager, different user organizations are assigned their own virtual networks

(Virtual Private Network, VPN) in respect of the address space of the user data (Short Subscriber

Identity, SSI). This is made possible by segmenting the SSI address spaces and assigning them to

the respective VPNs.

The System implements a secure VPN Server and VPN clients on every Operator, allowing multiple

Departments/Companies to utilize the same Network without fear of outside interference or calls be

listened to by un-authorized parties.

Different user organizations are assigned their own VPN via the ETELM VPN Manager. For this

purpose, the totally available SSI address space (Short Subscriber Identity, SSI) is segmented and

centrally managed. In this way, multiple user organizations can operate independently of one

another in one and the same radio network. The object of the VPN concept is the limitation of the

inter-VPN communication between different user organizations.

In this way, the user organizations can selectively authorize the communication with subscribers

and groups of other VPNs. The VPN-specific SSI spaces are configured with the aid of the ETELM

VPN Manager. Equally, collaborations (inter-VPN communication) and collaboration rules for inter-

VPN communication will be defined. The corresponding VPN-configuration parameters are

managed in a table in the ETELM VPN Manager database.

ETELM VPN system supports up to 10,000 Subscribers & 200 Groups per VPN.

ETELM VPN system supports End to End Encryption as an option.

The Partitioning of Organizations allows Operators to be dedicated to each virtual network thereby

being permitted to access or change Users within its own virtual network.
