Introduction
ƒ Early warning systems (EWS) used to rapidly disseminate
warning messages to specific individuals, communities or
organizations in response to an imminent or oncoming
emergency or hazard event
- Provide description of event and areas under risk
- Providing instructions on evacuation measures and how to behave before
and after the event
ƒ The warning dissemination has to be executed in a manner
that ensures that:
- Message delivery is timely and reliable
- Message content is accurate
- Message content understandable and usable

Warning Message Dissemination via Public Land Mobile Networks
ƒPublic Land Mobile Network (PLMN)
infrastructure used for warning dissemination

PMR for Early Warning_DEWS Mid Term Conference, Jul-09
Limitations of PLMN for Warning Dissemination
ƒ Message dissemination delays or non-delivery due
network congestion
- PLMN not originally designed for broadcast-type mass text or
multimedia messaging
- Routine network congestion, particularly during busy hour traffic periods
- Surge in traffic volumes due to anticipated events (e.g. New Years eve)
or unanticipated emergency events (e.g. 7/7 London bombing)

PMR for Early Warning_DEWS Mid Term Conference, Jul-09
Limitations of PLMN for Warning Dissemination
ƒ Message dissemination delays or non-delivery due to limited or
no network coverage
- Lack of commercial incentive by operators to extend coverage to an area
- Coverage loss or reduction resulting from damage to network facility sites

The need for PMR networks dedicated for Authorities
ƒProfessional Mobile
Radio (PMR)
- Dedicated networks for
authorities
- Improved survivability to
possible damage
- More robust security

Prominent PMR standards
ƒ TETRAPOL
- Maintained by TETRAPOL Publicly Available
Specification http://www.tetrapol.com/
- Mostly deployed in Europe
ƒ APCO-25 or P25
- Jointly maintained by Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA), Association of Public Safety
Communications Officials International (APCO) and
others
- Majority (over 90%) of the market being in North
America
ƒ TErrestial Trunked RAdio (TETRA)
- Global ETSI standard (also maintained by TETRA
Association)
- Main focus of this presentation

Dispatcher
ƒ Dispatcher is an organizational
operator or administrator on duty
linked to users via the TETRA
network
- Monitors status and location of field
units
- Has better overview of situation picture
- Manages group definition (create group,
add new member, priorities, areas, etc.)
- Manages rights of users
- Broadcast voice or text messages to
group

for public safety and security
- Nationwide coverage (330,000 km2)
- Coverage area includes the Gulf of
Finland for maritime purposes serving
also the Estonian frontier guards and
maritime agencies.
- 1300 BSs and 15 MSCs (Nokia, EADS
Secure Networks)
- Rollout completed in late 2002

Conclusions
ƒ Benefits of Professional Mobile Network (PMR) network as an
early warning platform
- Target authorities, emergency first response, utility companies, transport
operators etc.
ƒ Smooth transition from early warning to emergency response
phase
ƒ Digital PMR standards (e.g. TETRA) increasingly popular
- Secure
- Resilient/robust
- Promotes group/teamwork
ƒ The requirement for effective early warning to first responders
underlines the need for PMR networks
