New learning

A series of Development Sessions and training presentations throughout the two days will address a number of key areas for emergency services, including:

 - The roadmap for TETRA in public safety; whether and how TETRA and LTE networks can work together for combined voice and data solutions. Is it a case of TETRA vs LTE broadband? Can voice and data applications work together and what is the future for inter-service emergency communications?
- The use of social media in the management of public safety in crisis situations, including transport incidents or natural disasters.

Plus - your social media questions answered. Should you use social media and how? Is your organisation's website up to scratch? Ask the experts in a live social media surgery, free of charge at the exhibition.
