After the phenomenal success of the 2008 Congress in Hong Kong - which attracted over 2000 visitors from over 60 different countries - the Congress returns to Europe for what is expected to be the largest TWC ever.

Over 2500 representatives of the public safety and security services, transport companies, oil and gas, military, manufacturing, utilities and other users of critical communications will join the TETRA Association and senior industry figures to discuss the latest developments and future requirements of TETRA.

A new theme for 2009

The theme for this year’s Congress is TETRA: An Evolving Solution.

The packed conference will focus on how TETRA is evolving to meet the needs of today’s users. The sessions will examine topics including; the latest development in data applications and the first TEDS implementation; new business models to spread the benefits of TETRA and reduce costs; the development of TETRA Broadband; plus a new stream dedicated to using TETRA with complementary technologies.

Presentations feature representatives from public safety and security agencies; transport; oil and gas; utilities; manufacturing; mining; military; network operators; applications developers; ETSI and the TETRA Association

The innovative programme means that the delegates will be more involved in the programme than ever before. Interactive features include audience voting where the delegates can have their say on the key issues facing TETRA, discussion sessions where the audience set the questions, plus the chance for visitors to send us videos of where they work to be played around the Congress on TETRA TV.

The meeting Place for the international TETRA community

Produced by IIR Conferences in association with the TETRA Association, the TETRA World Congress is the world’s largest TETRA conference and exhibition. The event attracts users, manufacturers, network operators, application developers and integrators from around the world.
