Showcase Presentation

Syntech presented another of our popular Showcase Presentations. These are free to anyone attending the conference or exhibition. This year we were talking on:

The Syntech CDR Reporting Tool: unlocking the value of Airwave

Every month, Airwave users around the country receive a CD containing their Call Detail Records (CDRs). This has a record of every call made by their users on the Airwave network – a potentially invaluable source of information to verify billing data and understand how the Airwave service is being used.

During the Showcase Presentation, Syntech showed you how to unlock the information being held in the CDRs and demonstrated how to use this information to:

• track trends and projected usage
• investigate individual incidents or users
• optimise your use of the Airwave network

Using real data and the Syntech CDR Reporting Tool, we showed, via a series of genuine examples, how you can improve your Airwave service and ultimately save money!

Main Conference

Dr Brian Williams and Chief Inspector Keith Beechener (Essex Police) shared their practical experience in configuring, managing and maintaining TETRA performance during Fallback:

Configuring TETRA To Provide A Fallback Service

Drawing on Essex Police’s experience of configuring the Airwave service to provide an operationally acceptable Fallback service, this talk covered issues such as:

• Configuring individual sites for Local Site Trunking (LST)
• Sectored antenna sites
• The importance of the terminal
• Options for providing central control during Fallback
• Planning network coverage with Fallback in mind

The talk was illustrated throughout with case studies, giving practical advice how to configure and work with LST.

This is an expanded version of the highly successful presentation given at the TETRA World Congress 2004.

19th - 21st April 2005, Design Centre, Islington.
