1 Introduction
User and / or project-specific amendments or adaptations as well as value added services
are often required to integrate professional TETRA trunked radio systems into operational
routines. Therefore Rohde & Schwarz has developed the most powerful interface of its kind
in the industry, the ACCESSNET Common Application Programming Interface A-CAPI.
The A-CAPI provides a comprehensive access to all communication services, data services
and features of the ACCESSNET -T professional mobile radio system. It is the basis for
an easy and fast implementation of powerful applications and custom-specific features
within the TETRA network. The aim of this document is to demonstrate the features of the
A-CAPI and the methods of implementation into 3rd party products by way of interface
software drivers, training and support provided by Rohde & Schwarz.

All A-CAPI signalling services are easy to use over one interface and protocol
No special knowledge of TETRA (e.g. of the air interface) is required to use A-CAPI
Access to the TETRA system and its services via A-CAPI is for authorized users
only. The authorization is given by the TETRA system on log-in into the application
interface of the system.
Ensures separation between the TETRA system and the application with unique
allocation of responsibilities for functionality, stability and maintenance
