Motorola has demonstrated live video streaming over Norway’s public safety radio network Nødnett using TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS).
The vendor also demonstrated advanced data applications, which were optimised to work within a channel bandwidth size of 50 kHz.
Other applications include streaming of video from officers’ emergency vehicles in real time and transferring on-location video feeds which could help in improving incident response time.
Public safety applications such as mobile fingerprint scanning, vehicle license database checks and data transmission without packet loss were also trialled during handover between TEDS sites and between TEDS and TETRA Multi-Slot Packet Data sites.
The vendor has been running an analysis of the TEDS system alongside the country’s Directorate for Emergency Communication (DNK).
Steve Young, Vice-President and Head of Global TETRA Products, Motorola Solutions said: “With TEDS, we can provide that surety and, as we are seeing on the Nødnett test network, we can deliver agencies with the wide range of data services they need and with the reliability and availability that’s critical for teams working in the most demanding of environments.”
The pilot project, in Notodden, south-eastern Norway, comes ahead of the planned roll out of high-speed data services across Norway on Motorola Solutions Dimetra IP base stations that are TEDS ready.
Around a third of Nodnett’s 2,100 base stations are ‘TEDS-ready’ and the service can be implemented by installing a software upgrade.
Tor Helge Lyngstøl, Director General Norwegian Directorate for Emergency Communication said: “We are impressed with the capability of TEDS to support concurrent data streams and support critical data applications that end users need to be more effective and better safeguard themselves and the public.”
