WHITEPAPERS

As mobility is transforming how organizations are operating and responding to the growing challenges, VDC Research have witnessed in mobile device, network, and application sophistication, opportunities for PoC to provide business and mission critical voice services for one to one and group communications solutions are scaling rapidly.

ETELM has published a new whitepaper titled “ETELM 4GLinked integrated solution for smart campus communications and security”, which argues that a ‘one-sized-fits-all’ approach to critical communications does not work. The whitepaper explains why new and emerging technologies have the potential to reinvigorate legacy infrastructure such as TETRA, and why the focus must now shift to interoperability as technologies increasingly converge.

The obvious and old fashioned solution to enable broadband would be to build dedicated broadband networks for public safety. However, the world has changed a lot since the first digital PMR networks were built. A new business model and a technological solution that saves money in investment, operations and will perform better. A ‘Blue Ocean’ alternative that is likely to be the one implemented everywhere.

This GSMA whitepaper discusses how the capabilities of LTE networks and especially how broadcasting functionality can be leveraged not only to provide mission critical communications at system parity with existing solutions, but to enrich them by allowing users to exchange multimedia content in addition to voice and enjoy access to mobile broadband.

ESChat and Sonim Technologies provide secure Push to Talk over LTE on the LA‐RICS FirstNet Band 14 LTE Network including Interoperability with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s P25 Land Mobile Radio Network.

The TCCA has created an overview document to clarify the basics of public safety 3GPP standardisation, the 3GPP ecosystem, 4G LTE applicability for public safety, and to look forward to the potential of 5G

If you are in the market for PTToC you need to first determine exactly what your needs are, then review the offerings available to you, and then test the two or three top contenders side by side to determine which choice offers you the best service, the best selection of features, and the best set of solutions for interconnecting your LMR system to your PTToC system.

This paper has been written to assist Government organisations and those responsible for Public Safety mobile communications, to consider the most appropriate solution for delivering such capabilities. Issues addressed include spectrum, security, speed of roll out, political influences and cost.

Backed by unique research conducted by VDC Research, in this paper, we will explore the evolution of PTT communications among today’s mobile workforce and discuss the opportunity for POC solutions specifcally.

This white paper makes a comparison between LTE and TETRA, which is the leading legacy technology for mission and business critical communications. These technologies are analyzed mainly based on standardized features, but other relevant aspects are discussed as well.

This Whtepaper form Mutualink discusses lessons Learned from Global Attacks and how FirstNet can better prepare the U.S. for crisis response
