So, I've been reading lately that there eventually will be a nationwide public safety "LTE Network". Will this operate in the same way as TETRA does? Or will it use normal conventional radios? Or mobile phones with PTT? Similar to NEXTEL? Will it be digital or analog? Thanks,

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
LTE, basically same as TETRA?

How does that make a difference to the specific, technical questions you asked? They are all answered in the link I posted.

Once the standards are set for PTT voice over LTE, it will be digital and will likely use a wide variety of user equipment form factors. It will act like TETRA does in that the equipment will roam through the coverage of multiple towers, but LTE will have much greater bandwidth for other applications, such as streaming video.

Just because you have PTT over LTE and handovers from one cell to another doesn't mean it will 'operate in the same way as TETRA does'. If it would be that simple than all current PoC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) would also qualify as operating in the same way as TETRA does.
