designed with customers' needs at our core.
The evolution of our products is a process
involving attention to detail, rigorous testing and
careful consideration of what communicators will
need in the future.
Our highly experienced research and
development personnel are constantly finding
ways to improve the capability and flexibility of
our products. And as established industry
experts they know the importance of making
sure that our customers receive the best value
for money.
2 A Pioneer in TETRA Technologyditional Gateway options
A Vision for the FutureArtevea are constantly striving to deliver the
most advanced TETRA products with the
greatest attention to detail and quality. As an
ISO 9001 organisation, our focus is to set new
benchmarks for innovation, quality and vision.
Artevea participates actively with the TETRA
MoU and the Interoperability Organization and
we are proud to work with business partners
who share our vision. We look forward to
hearing about your communications
challenges and to making those
communications easier.
3Reliable Communications Worldwide
TETRA digital trunked radio helps organisations
ensure that a distributed workforce stays in
constant touch through voice and data calls.
Using Artevea TETRA-over-IP systems can
deliver improved efficiency and competitive
advantage by enabling your workforce to access
data on the move while still in the
field. All communications over TETRA are
reassuringly private, secure and robust.
As a global open standard, TETRA allows a
mix of different manufacturers’ terminals on the
same system, Artevea are active participants in
the TETRA Interoperability testing forum and
have successfully trialled all the leading suppliers
of terminals on our system.
With the added advantage of Artevea’s
T-MATRIXTM TETRA-over-IP (ToIP) infrastructure,
communication networks can be as modular and
flexible as required. Artevea designs completely
scalable transportable radio sites (T-MATRIXTM P)
or fixed radio site installations (T-MATRIXTM F).
Each radio site can be a seed for a larger multi-
site network by adding extra components.
Better still, T-MATRIXTM is insulated against
system failure. T-MATRIXTM ToIP uses Advanced
Distributed Architecture for Call Processing and
Databases instead of a central switch, thereby
removing any single point of system failure. If a
radio site becomes detached from a network it
will continue to operate locally with no loss of
functionality. The other sites remain connected
and operational while the link is being restored.
With a distributed system, work stations,
gateways and network management
components can be located anywhere on the
network that is convenient, rather than having to
locate resources close to where the equipment
needs to be.

4 An Expanding Global Market
TETRA equipment was originally designed to
meet the needs of public safety and military
organisations. It replaced analogue radio
broadcasts audible to anyone able to pick up the
frequency, with defined subscriber groups limiting
and securing vital communications.
In critical situations fast and sound decision-
making is essential. TETRA systems are based
around group and one-to-one private calls where
the connection is instant at the push of a button.
Speech is clear and background noise cut to a
minimum.
Businesses such as taxi firms, couriers, security
companies, haulage and air freight services also
operate with a distributed task force that can
take immediate advantage of radio
communications to mobilise latent resources and
enhance market competitiveness.
In today’s world, the faster, more flexible and
better informed you are the better your chances
of winning customers and contracts.
Since it was first defined as a standard, TETRA has
now been adopted in over 70 countries and is used
by Police Networks, Defence Networks, Power
companies, Water companies, Railways, Airports
and Mining & Exploration Industries.
Improving the level of customer service is key for
any organisation. Air, rail and road transport
operations all require flexible communications giving
access to real-time information to work crews as
well as passengers. Construction companies with
large numbers of employees dispersed across
broad coverage areas rely heavily on their
communication systems for the co-ordination of
work crews and overall operational efficiency.
In large distribution centres and retail chains,
ground floor staff need hands-free operation of
communication devices and can utilise a significant
amount of data in their activities.
Artevea understands your needs and through
partnership with other leading suppliers ensures a
complete solution.
An Ever Expanding Global Market
5A Key Role in Global Communications
The TETRA standard has been developed by
industry experts alongside the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute and has
emerged as the unchallenged standard for
professional users of radio communications
worldwide. It is designed to function well within
some of the most arduous environments in
the world.
From the earliest days of TETRA, Artevea Digital
UK has played an active and key role in
assisting the development of the standard. And
over the last three years Artevea has designed
and produced a robust and resilient TETRA
system holding to the principles and standards
that we ourselves helped put in place.
We at Artevea are proud of our achievements
and of our latest product offering: the
T-MATRIXTM TETRA infrastructure, which offers
not only reliable communications but also the
flexibility of using TETRA over IP.
The Artevea global distribution and partner
program ensures that professional radio users
can enjoy complete peace of mind when
choosing systems from Artevea. All our
distributors are constantly trained and updated
on the latest designs and configurations. Every
one of our partners installs and maintains our
systems, backed up by Artevea technical staff
who are available around the clock.
As TETRA continues to grow Artevea continues
to play a key role in supplying advanced
communication systems anywhere on the globe.

6 T-MATRIXTM Technology
T-MATRIX™ is the next generation TETRA
platform designed and developed exclusively by
Artevea. The T-MATRIX™ TETRA platform
constitutes the engine behind all TETRA
Products produced by Artevea. The Technology
is based on the design principles for delivering
fully distributed, flexible and reliable TETRA
Networks. The T-MATRIX™ Technology utilizes
the right combination of Commercially Off The
Shelf (COTS) and Specialized Software and
Hardware Components to deliver the most cost
effective solution.
The T-MATRIX™ Technology is Flexible because
any of the T-MATRIX™ elements (Network
management consoles, work stations and
gateways) can be located anywhere in the
network thereby eliminating reliance on a central
switch.
The T-MATRIX™ Technology is Reliable because
it uses Advanced Distributed Database
Management, Processing and standard TCP/IP
Routing techniques. The networks can be
designed using star, mesh or mixed topology,
ensuring continuous multi-site operation.
The T-MATRIX™ Technology is future proof
because it is designed to be able to support the
developing TETRA 2 Standard and Inter
Systems Interface (ISI) Specifications. This
allows customers to choose Artevea
T-MATRIX™ Technology and Products with
confidence and capability to move forward in the
future. T-MATRIXTM is cost effective because
users are not tied to proprietary handsets or
terminals and the system works with a wide
choice of ‘Off The Shelf’ routers and ethernet
switches so that customers can take full
advantage of competitive pricing on any
essential devices.
T-MATRIXTM F is a fixed site solution for
organisations needing a permanently installed
system that is fully scalable and expandable.
Connecting additional components is as easy as
adding a computer to a LAN.
T-MATRIXTM P is a compact solution ideal as an
entry-level system for small organisations or for
organisations wanting a portable system for
temporary communications in a specific location
(e.g. public events). It can also be used as a
basic building block adding additional sites later
to construct a larger system.
T-MATRIXTM TETRA radio sites are
complemented with a range of Management
and Control Products such as the T-MATRIXTM
Network Management and T-MATRIXTM Terminal
Dispatcher Workstations.
T-MATRIXTM Gateway Products are provided to
offer users the option of interconnection to
various networks such as PABX, PSTN, Legacy
or widely used voice and data networks.
