5G sidelink solves an important challenge for public safety users: How to deliver public safety communications when the 5G network is not available. This presentation from Qualcomm experts explains two common scenarios and includes an excellent question-and-answer discussion.
Public Safety Broadband Networks are typically deployed on commercial Mobile Network Operators' networks. The Telstra failure is an example of what can happen to very good MNO networks and what that means for public safety operations.
The three major US Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) announced the formation of a Direct-to-Device Joint Venture to address the delivery of mobile services in underserved remote areas. The move is an important step towards addressing coverage limitations across the rural US regions.
Motorola Solutions acquired Exacom to add dispatch/radio audio recording, security, and AI transcription capability.
Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) is a vital element of future LTE-based critical communications systems. The industry has made tremendous progress producing clients and systems that work. But effective direct device-to-device communications is an extraordinarily important requirement that remains out-of-reach. With the clock ticking to shutdown of its legacy emergency services PTT network, the UK is now forced to embrace a "Plan B". Is this the answer for the rest of the world?
