The French PMR market accounts for around 400 M€ of turnovers per year equally split

between PPDR and “civil” users

Overview

Shitfing towards LTE

Zoom on indoor

The need to shift to LTE technology is driven by three factors

Obsolescence of current

narrowband technologies

Securing current WiFi based applications

Introduction of new services based on high speed data

3GPP LTE/4G is the technology of convergence both for public and

professional users

Broadband introduces a new paradigm, spectrum cannot be spit amongst users as before

Allocation of narrow band channels

Before Allocation of broadband channels

Challenge faced now

?

freq freq

This led the civil users to group into an association

Goal

Define regulatory (spectrum) authorisation allowing the deployment in France of broadband PMR network for the use of the membersv

• Lobby national public bodies (ARCEP, ANFR,…)

• Liaise with PPDR users representative

• Communicate actions in press / Conferences,…)

Present members

Goal

AGURRE seek to get access to frequency bands usable by all members

• Concentration is set on bands that are compatible to all members usage: • One of the current PMR 400 MHz sub-bands • Another UHF band which frequency is below 1 GHz (700 MHz in principle)

• Each of these two bands has its advantages/disadvantages, the ideal is to get spectrum in both bands

Main target

• The search of the main target does not prevent members to use other bands: • Either a high frequency band (freq > 1 GHz) – for example to increase throughput in confined

space environment such as metro, buildings,… • Either a low frequency (freq < 380 Mhz) – for example to allow data transmission on long

distance

Earlier this year, French government has decided to grant spectrum in the 2nd digital

• PPDR users plan to start deploying a LTE nationwide network at the end of the present decade

• Licences asks Ministry of Interior to seek ways of sharing spectrum with civil users

An agreement was found between the Minister of Interior and AGURRE for sharing

spectrum in linear and closed zones

Priority split

Agreement will be applicable as soon as 2016

Many companies are in the starting blocks

Deployment of a LTE Professional on the CDG and Orly airports indoor and out premises to replace TETRA and WiFi Pro network

Deployment of a LTE Professional on the L14 and L11 extension for voice communication and on-board surveillance usage

Deployment of a LTE Professional on the 29 nuclear plants in France

Deployment of a LTE Professional on the Grand Paris metro lines for voice communication and on-board surveillance usage

• 216 “live” installations in Paris region (out of 4000 class 1 ERP registered) • RF repeater connected to a passive DAS is the standard configuration • Large venues (airports, metros, Louvres,…) have deployed an optical

repeating system directly connected to a INPT BTS • Ministry of Interior welcomes infrastructure sharing with other networks
