Nokia today showcased the Nokia DXTip TETRA switch which enables the IP-based connection of different Nokia TETRA components using an IP backbone. The scaleable Nokia DXTip utilises the same platform as field proven Nokia 2G/3G switching elements.
In the Nokia TETRA System, the Nokia DXTip is the centre of communications, supporting fast call set-up and high traffic throughput. The Nokia TETRA architecture can be scaled up to provide for several thousand simultaneous active instant voice users, to meet the future growth needs.
The Nokia TETRA IP Backbone is a reliable, scalable and secure IP network that provides IP connectivity to various TETRA network elements and applications. In addition, the TETRA IP Backbone provides an IP connection between the network’s switching sites.
The IP Packet data network provides the same function between TETRA radio users and internal and/or external IP networks and services. The Nokia TETRA System IP Packet Data Service supports point-to-point IP data communication between one mobile station host and another, or between an mobile station host and an external host.
Nokia TETRA architecture is similar to that of Nokia GPRS and 3G cellular networks comprising three layers. All these layers are connected through the transmission network and operated and maintained via the Nokia Network Management System, Nokia NetAct for TETRA.
