Public safety operations are becoming increasingly information-driven, requiring access to a widening range of text, imaging and video applications. Although TETRA networks support secure and reliable low data rate services, throughput constraints limit their suitability for real-time video or high speed data applications. With recognition growing that operational data should be transported over mission critical networks, it is important to look at how a unified TETRA and Public Safety LTE netw

Supply vs Demand Report by Presidential-Partners - The intent of this effort was not to respond to every issue related to the impact on public safety communications centers by the Broadband network development, but to simply raise the awareness levels for public safety officials and application developers of the potential affect (both good and bad) this new broadband technology may have on our nation’s communications centers, as well as the individuals, who operate them.

This report extends the research originally undertaken to estimate the socioeconomic benefits for the use of enhanced mobile broadband by public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) agencies for the November 2013 report, Socioeconomic Value of Mission Critical Mobile Applications for Public Safety in the UK: 2x10MHz in 700MHz, into 10 European Countries.

EU member states, in cooperation with the Commission, are in preparation for the ITU World Radiocommunications Conference 2015 to identify a single spectrum environment for Broadband Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) services and to define conditions for taking the 700 MHz band to mobile use, including conditions for PPDR use of the band. TCCA recommends that a sufficient amount of 700 MHz frequency resources shall be made available for these mission critical communication services.

The evolution of LTE is key to the realization of Ericsson’s vision of a Networked Society. This vision means that, in the future, anything that benefits from being connected will be connected – from parking meters and house alarms to cars and trash cans

A growing trend is high speed data communication, which is rapidly becoming critical to public safety. However, most public safety data is transported by commercial carriers, who cannot guarantee any special quality of service or priority. This has led public safety organizations to look for better methods of handling both mission critical voice and data communications, including the use of broadband to give first responders the tools they need to perform efficiently.
