Streamwide selected for phase 2 Broadway Project

Airbus DS SLC-led consortium that includes STREAMWIDE, has been selected for the phase 2 of the “Broadway” Pre Commercial public Procurement (PCP). The prototype development for this second phase goes one step further towards a Pan-European interoperable broadband system for Public Safety.

The consortium brings various added value and benefits thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, relying in particular on the roaming solution and on the secure collaborative mobility communication platform developed by STREAMWIDE for critical missions (Team on mission).

The BroadWay project groups together 11 countries of the European Union and currently covers 1.4 million of the 3.5 million responders across Europe. The project aims to provide European first responders with new and fundamental mobile communication capability, and allows closer collaboration, beyond borders, during complex pan-European events. It will, on the one hand, protect lives in the event of a critical incident, such as natural disasters or terrorist acts, and on the other hand, increase European cooperation during civil protection operations, such as the fight against organized crime, rescue operations or the organization of events requiring enhanced security.

The solution prototype, currently being developed by the consortium of which STREAMWIDE is a member, will focus on the technical aspects of achieving operational mobility. This will give public safety responders the possibility to access and share information from any place and at any time across the European Union while allowing them to maintain the high level of security, availability and continuity of the services needed during their mobility.

Additionally, the consortium’ prototype can be used for numerous purposes, allowing communication, control, and security through shared mobile broadband networks in an easy-roll out design. This structure will also allow any European country to join the future BroadNet network in a quick and easy way.
