ETRA – Terrestrial Trunked Radio – is a digital trunked mobile radio standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute


(ETSI). Te standard was designed to meet the needs of professional mobile radio (PMR) user organizations – essentially, people who work in groups. When TETRA was created in the early 1990s, we were

Its secure, reliable and proven performance is trusted by industries and organizations worldwide, including public safety and security services, air, rail and water transport, public utilities, the oil and gas exploration, extraction and delivery industries, international and global sporting events, car manufacturing plants and casinos – networks of all sizes, from a single site to 3500.
