Dryad Networks focuses on early fire detection through distributed sensors mounted in forests. Clever design choices, including solar, supercapacitors, LoRaWAN, and up-link flexibility, make it a solid complement to infrared cameras and satellite systems for next-generation rapid wildland fire observation.
Because mesh radio deployments create dynamic self-forming networks, providing field users the ability to control and monitor the communications environment becomes essential. TrellisWare's demonstration illustrates the rich ATAK user interface enabled with ATAK's extensible plugin architecture.
Alea, Qualcomm, and Softil provided live demonstrations of 5G Sidelink as a direct mode solution at the ETSI Mission Critical Services (MCX) Plugtest and the TCCA CCBG meetings in Krakow.
The 2023 edition of Comms Connect Melbourne brought together public and private sector critical communications ecosystem members across the Australian and New Zealand region. Here are our top take-aways from the event.
The second FirstNet Users Summit, Vision 2023, brought together end users, AT&T, FirstNet Authority, and vendors supplying solutions that enhance or operate on FirstNet. The Las Vegas event showcased progress even though mission-critical services device approvals linger.
It is hard to find an acronym with more headline-grabbing power than IoT. The reason is clear, enterprises that successfully deploy IoT technology can transform operations. For organizations that implement mission-critical technology, the transformation can boost citizen safety, enhance situational awareness and reduce costs. Here is a look at how Critical Communications World 2018 is tackling the subject.
Moving emergency services workers from trusted professional mobile radio systems to emerging mission-critical LTE networks requires a solution for out-of-range communications. Why is this problem top-of-mind for so many visitors to Critical Communications World and what might they find at the exhibition?
It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. Now, new critical communications applications are advancing to bring rich user interfaces to the aid of emergency services workers. Critical Communications World 2018 includes sessions and exhibits aimed at fostering a powerful application ecosystem. Here are some highlights.
Critical Communications World 2018 brings together leading mission-critical ecosystem players. This year's event is an important opportunity for mobile network operators to engage with customers requiring mobile broadband services that go beyond best-effort consumer-grade offers. AT&T stands out as a mobile network operator changing the competitive dynamics of its market by hosting the US FirstNet network. More operators will follow, and CCW 2018 comes at a crucial inflection point.
The continued evolution in LTE is impressive. Just in time for #MWC2018, Qualcomm launches a 2 Gbps LTE modem. The combination of 7 nanometer technology and 20 spatial streams will be welcomed be equipment designers seeking lower power consumption and higher performance.
CritComm Insights has released its Public Safety DAS study providing an in-depth look at U.S. fire code requirements, market dynamics, solution portfolios and competition. With FirstNet poised to become an essential element of local public safety communications, this report also looks at FirstNet's potential impact and what it means for building owners and the in-building coverage ecosystem.
While mission-critical push-to-talk over legacy TETRA and P25 networks remains the basis for emergency services command, control and communications, the cell phone network and its data services are an integral part of the picture. Several prominent operators around the world now offer services featuring mission-critical LTE capability based on recent standards advances. The network technology is ready, and it is time for operators around the world to go beyond consumer grade service offers.
A major thrust of Nokia's 2017 strategy includes expansion into vertical market sectors that align well with Nokia's core network infrastructure strength. The company's Services Analyst Days in London showed how its Global Services business group is making this expansion about more than selling boxes.
