Mission Critical Broadband: Practical standardization & roadmap considerations
This document has been produced by the TETRA and Critical Communications Association (TCCA) Critical Communications Broadband Group (CCBG) in February 2013, to provide supporting information and guidelines for critical communications users, operators and other interested parties who are considering the implementation of mission critical mobile broadband services. It sets out the predicted timeframe for availability of suitable standards and equipment, together with a consequent outline roadmap f

DownloadTRANSFORM PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH BROADBAND INNOVATION
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
DownloadHow will the new “Supply” of Broadband information impact the “Demands” on your time and that of your Communications Center?
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.
DownloadSocioeconomic Value of Mission Critical Mobile Applications for Public Safety in the EU
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.

The need for PPDR Broadband Spectrum in the bands below 1 GHz
Discussion Paper made for the TETRA + Critical Communication Association by WIK-Consult
DownloadBroadband Spectrum for mission critical communication needed
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.
