TETRA today, tomorrow, and beyond: Inside the work of the TETRA Industry Group In the era of next-gen broadband and LTE, it is easy to focus entirely on emerging tech. But on the front lines of heavy industry and public safety, perception rarely matches operational reality.

This week on Making Waves, we step inside the global strategy rooms of the critical communications ecosystem to explore how private, dedicated networks are changing, adapting, and growing. Far from being a static technology, the international community is actively investing in new enhancements - integrating everything from cutting-edge cybersecurity protocols to artificial intelligence.

What you’ll discover in this conversation:
  • The 15-year horizon: Why global migration strategies are built on a bedrock of long-term hybrid coexistence.

  • Defending the spectrum: How the industry is strategically addressing frequency spectrum pressures and navigating international ITU allocations to protect critical users.

  • The total cost of ownership: How manufacturers are using AI to optimise power consumption and efficiency on the network side for decades to come.
  • Untapped potential: Why standard telemetry, SCADA applications, and user location services mean you don't always need a broadband pipe to achieve smart network operations.
"You have to pick up the best of every technology to build the best possible solution, not just limiting yourself to one."
