What is MCPTT

What is mcptt

MCPTT new global Standard, which would replace legacy group communication systems, such as VHF, TETRA, P25, IDEN and others .

Key-advatage is this MCPTT is based on Lte-architecture and would be available for both, goverments/public safety as well a S commercial users. This Market-approach drives costs down due to economies of the scale. Sharing network-infrastructure with commercial users ensure adequate capacity for emergency situation, where public safety Would has priority over commercial users.

3GPP have been focused on network infrastructure. Client-side is a left-up-to-manufacturers to design and implement according to the market requirements.

Who specified and support MCPTT

Quote from 3GPP TSG SA4 meeting #82, January 2015

Sources of input requirements for MCPTT include:
The first Responder Network Authority (FIRSTNET), Haven Government network operator for the public safety community in the States.The Kingdom Home Office–the Office responsible for the development of the next generation public s Afety communications System in the UK. The work of the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) –an organization made up to all the major publi C Safety Organizations in the States.The TETRA and Critical Communications Association (TCCA), which are considering LTE for Mission Critical Push to talk.the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) Global Alliance, W Hich have also endorsed LTE as the technology of choice for public safety communications worldwide. Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is considering LTE for critical communications involving LTE Mission-critica L Voice service and interworking with P25 and are creating related requirements for PTT (TIA-4973.201, "Requirements for Mi Ssion Critical PTT and related supplementary Services "). Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) have defined Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) specifications with several components that could Provide partial support for Mission Critical Push to Talk.european telecommunications standards Institute (ETSI) TC TETRA and Critical Communications Evolution (TCCE) have opened a work item:dtr/tetra-01203, User Requirements specification Miss Ion Critical Broadband Communications Part 2 Critical Communications application.

Other regional requirements isn't listed may also is reflected in the work. While previous such standards has often been regional, there is a strong desire for the next generation of Mission critic Al Push to talk to is based on a single, widely adopted global standard.

Who is MCPTT users

MCPTT Market (users) comprises from several sectors:

Source:tcca (TETRA + Critical Communication Association)

Due to fragmented market and lack of global standards, legacy systems on market are not known precisely-however, it's Estim Ated that installed base was currently between 30-60 million radios (depending on source, sepura/aeroflex/motorola) and Ann UAL PMR market value somewhere between $10-20bln.

These figures is expected to grow remarkably due as MCPTT services would became available not only to Governments but also For commercial users which mean much larger market and economies of scale would make systems and services economically FEA Sible for SMEs.
