Following the allocation in Spain and most European countries of Band 68 (698 to 703 MHz/753 to 758 MHz) for use "by public protection systems and disaster relief operations," Teltronic offers the first complete solution over this LTE (4G) band, which will enable public safety and emergency response agencies to move towards further digitization.
"Since broadband radio technologies began to be developed, public safety agencies have been demanding the allocation of frequencies that would allow their use in the security and availability conditions they require; Teltronic has been preparing for this moment for years, and now that this demand is finally beginning to be met by the various regulatory bodies around the world, we can offer private 4G networks that enable the digital transformation of these agencies," explained Teltronic Product Marketing Manager Marta Fontecha.
In this way, Teltronic's solution consists firstly of the Radio Access Network that provides LTE coverage to the operation area. The Spanish company has pioneered the development of an LTE base station with a compact format in band 68, a unit prepared to be installed outdoors on a wall or mast without the need for a technical room. Its all-in-one format makes it easy to install and maintain and, by using the 700 MHz range and reserved spectrum, it guarantees wide coverage areas and avoids interference problems.
Teltronic has also developed the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) that provides intelligence to the communication infrastructure. With almost 50 years of experience in the sector, the company is aware of the needs required by mission-critical users, and all this experience is embodied in an EPC designed to incorporate the functionalities required in this type of environment. It also includes the necessary management and monitoring tools for easy and complete configuration, maintenance and analysis of network performance.
The solution also incorporates different terminals that support this band with different formats such as ruggedized smartphones or customer premises equipment for installation in vehicles, offices or control centers.
Finally, the solution is completed with a catalog of mission-critical services for voice, data and video communications, including the necessary applications for the establishment of services such as group voice calls, sending messages and files or video calls, among many others.
