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

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

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.

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
26
SG/DSIC
Expected Deliveries of the WG
●
D1 : Proposal for a EU council recommendation
-
●
D2 : Develop a report
-
●
●
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
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

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
