DownloadCritical Communications in a Process Driven World
Jonathan Bunce of Simoco Group looks at the future for TETRA and considers the benefits of DMR in a changing landscape for critical communications, where voice, data and business process come together.
DownloadDMR Interoperability Process
This white paper gives the background to the development of the DMR Interoperability Process by the DMR Association, explains the value of the process to users and manufacturers and will help users and potential users of DMR sytems get value from the Assiciation's work to establish formal interoperability testing.
DownloadTETRA vs DMR
A White Paper produced by the TETRA SME Forum, a sub group of the TETRA + Critical Communications Association. This white paper considers the performance, functionality, applications and interoperability aspects as well as the migration strategies for both the TETRA and DMR standards.
DownloadLTE Release 12 - taking another step toward the Networked Society
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
DownloadLTE for Public Safety - The need for new technologies for public safety
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.
DownloadLTE for Critical Communications Drivers, Benefits and Challenges
The technical architecture of LTE systems is based on an entirely new air interface system and more efficient modulation scheme providing an all-IP wireless data environment supporting higher data rates (both uplink and downlink), lower latency and higher speed mobility than were previously possible. Mission critical communications users have more demanding requirements than the average commercial user. They require more resilient, reliable, secure and ubiquitous networks and services, with as
DownloadThe Future is Now : Public Safety LTE Communications
As a society, we place many demands on the first responders who safeguard our communities. That means that the mission critical technologies our public safety officials use every day must meet exceedingly high standards as well. New 4G LTE broadband networks will enable powerful and innovative solutions for better protecting our first responders, providing them with the real-time information, the control, the reliability, the security and the performance that are at the core of mission critical
DownloadAlcatel Lucent & EADS - Interoperable Mission Critical Broadband/Narrowband Solution for Public Safety Communications
In creating the Shared Wireless Broadband Network in August 2007, the FCC recognized that the communication needs of public safety had grown to include interoperable broadband as well as narrowband services. Further work in 2009 by the FCC, the Public Safety Spectrum Trust (PSST), the National Public Safety Telecommunications Committee (NPSTC), DHS/SAFECOM accelerated the goal of creating a nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network utilizing 3GPP’s Long Term Evolution (LTE)...
DownloadLTE for utilities - supporting smart grids
The introduction of smart meters and smart grid sensors demands a cost-effective and easily deployed communications solution. Laboratory and field tests have demonstrated that LTE networks successfully meet the technical requirements for smart grid communications. LTE offers utilities very low latency, high throughput and QoS differentiation in a single radio access technology, as well as the commercial advantages of a global standard with a major proven technology ecosystem.
