UK-based manufacturer Artevea Digital has been honoured by the US analysts Frost & Sullivan for the development of its pioneering T-Matrix TETRA infrastructure.

Following an analysis of the public safety communication market, Frost & Sullivan recently selected Artevea to receive its 2011 European award for new product innovation.

An important element in Artevea Digital’s solution, the analysts explain, is that the switching software is designed to run on standard operating software and hardware platforms and not proprietary standards. This approach ensures easy maintainability, upgradability, and zero dependence on proprietary technology platforms.

The switching software also has a built-in mechanism to use the network infrastructure for several virtual networks, making it easy to roll-out pay-per-use models. There is also the flexibility to integrate with any type of backbone network infrastructure, existing telephony solutions, legacy radio communication network and other signalling frameworks.

“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”, commented Frost & Sullivan research analyst Anand Srinivasan.

• The T-MATRIX system is designed to meet the needs of public services and private operators, military networks, covert operations, humanitarian operations and peace-keeping missions.
