TAPS

TETRA Advanced Packet Service (TETRA TAPS) is an extension of the TETRA standard for professional mobile radio to provide a high speed data service. TETRA TAPS is partly based on the GSM standard to ease the interoperability with GSM and UMTS services. TETRA TAPS is just as GSM based on 200 kHz radio channels.

TETRA TAPS is meant for data communications only. The 'old' TETRA standard has to be used to build a mobile network that supports speech services.
