South Korea
• 2002 - Auditor General recommends using unified radio communication system
• 2003 - Subway disaster – inadequate communications key issue
• 2003 – Inter-operability feasibility and planning
• 2003 - Committee decide on TETRA for inter-operability
• 2004 – Implementation of TETRA for subways
Disasters have regrettably often been Major Motivators for Interoperability Planning
Germany was first! Mandated Interoperability between blue light
services in 1976!
• Norway– Train accident in Asta, January 2000 followed several marine
accidents
• Sweden– Disco Fire & EU Summit in Gothenburg
• United Kingdom– Hillsborough, Clapham, Kings Cross
• September 11th attacks were “experienced” worldwide
– Interoperability is getting more attention than ever– It is becomming inconceivable to plan for non-interoperability
• France– Decision being formalised to force Fire and Health to AcroPol
network.– Arguments used are cost saving and need for Interoperability.
