Figure 1 depicts a LiTRA network built upon an existing LTE network. This system, developed by Huawei, provides mission-critical communication.

It’s used for mission-critical applications over LTE. As shown, the LiTRA server and dispatch console are two new system components added to the existing LTE network.

Installing a mobile client on the LTE smartphone is necessary to communicate with the LiTRA server. LiTRA network uses GCS AS (Group Communication Service Application Server). The system requires upgrading the LiTRA software package in the eNodeB.
