Manufacturer
of advanced Mission Critical communications systems, ETELM, has been
shortlisted for the Best Evolution to Future Broadband at the International
Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs) for its 4GLinked solution, reports ITRealms.
ETELM’s 4GLinked solution connects TETRA with
LTE directly without any gateway. It offers outstanding
performance and operability as demanded by all mission critical users
now and in the future. 4GLinked overcomes traditional issues associated
with legacy systems and their evolution to LTE, by bringing to market a fully
interoperable and harmonized mission critical communications
solution based on industry standards.
The ICCAs are held annually in association with The Critical
Communications Association (TCCA) to celebrate the success and innovation
of organisations and individuals who push the boundaries of technological
capabilities. The winners will be announced at the
awards ceremony at Palais
am Funkturm at the Messe, Berlin on 15 May 2018.
“Our 4GLinked solution is based
on 3GPP telecommunications standards using an LTE Core network and
provides a single platform for both legacy infrastructure and new and emerging
technologies,” said Nicolas Hauswald, Sales and Marketing Director at
ETELM. “This kind of interoperability reduces the long-term cost for
users, as there is no need for upgrades each time a new standard, or
product, comes to market. We believe we have a winning, future-proof
solution and look forward to the judges’ final decision in May.”
ETELM is a pioneer in the critical communications sector and in
early 2017, 4GLinked was the first Hybrid TETRA/LTE solution deployed with
fully standardized MCPTT services, via its partnership with Nemergent.
4GLinked also successfully interfaced TETRA with several LTE vendors at
the Plugtests organised by ETSI and The Critical Communications
Association in June 2017.
Hauswald
continued: “ETELM is a visionary company with a strong commitment to
developing fully standardized solutions. We noticed a gap in the market
for a product that allows a balance between cost, service,
and coverage for mission critical users and therefore we developed
4GLinked. We are continuously investing in innovative solutions to
meet the needs of mission critical users and are proud that 4GLinked is being
recognised for its major advances in providing a single network solution
for all communications technologies.”
ETELM’s 4GLinked solution is the most advanced Hybrid
Integrated Network, providing the ideal platform for users to benefit
from the best features of different technologies. 4GLinked is the only system
in the world that allows TETRA (and other PMR technologies) to connect directly
to the LTE Core, without any gateway interface – allowing direct connectivity
between subscribers of different technologies over a single network, ensuring
fast call-setup and seamless roaming between technologies.
4GLinked
has now successfully been deployed and tested on the field for several
customers in the defence and transport sectors.
