Huawei Officially Releases Public Safety e-LTE Solution at CCW2017

The solution is part of a joint effort between Huawei and its eco-system partners to enhance global safety, aiming to provide global governments and customers with reliable and comprehensive E2E wireless networks that support service convergence, multiple sensors, and mobile police cloud.

According to many industry leaders and also to Huawei, traditional narrowband communication networks with basic voice service will be insufficient to meet the demands of future critical communication networks.

Huawei's e-LTE SafeCity, addresses these challenges, encompassing E2E e-LTE broadband trunking, broadband data applications, mobile video, wireless video backhaul, and accessory products. The eLTE SafeCity solution has the following four major features, which together provide users with a comprehensive command service.

Comprehensive Solution that guarantees Visibility, Connectivity, Mobility, and Accuracy

The e-LTE SafeCity solution integrates voice, video, data, and geographic information system (GIS) services and accommodates surveillance, command and dispatch all in one network. It can incorporate existing service resources and integrate various types of communication networks, whether public or private, broadband or narrowband, wired or wireless. It includes cloud command solutions for numerous service types.

Reliable Broadband Trunking

The 4G/4.5G-based solution allows group calls to be set up within 300 ms and a preemption delay of less than 150 ms, both of which are record speeds for the industry. High-end, low-end, and mid-range trunking terminal series are available with various IP67-certified accessory products, such as earplug microphones, shoulder microphones, and body cameras. All products are designed to withstand harsh environment, all dust, moist and shock-proof. In addition, Huawei's e-LTE eFEC solution for emergency command can be easily deployed within 15 minutes. It is the ideal solution for safety services, disaster relief, border patrol, emergency response and urgent repairs.

e-LTE Mobile Video Solution

Spectrum is essential to radio communication. Unfortunately, licensed spectrum is not accessible to all users. In certain cases, making the most of limited licensed spectrum is the only choice. Huawei's e-LTE-Licensed solution allows users to achieve video backhaul in moving scenarios even with speed up to 120 km/h. The solution enables rapid network construction and video backhaul for fixed, medium and low-speed scenarios. Using cutting-edge technologies such as inference immunity, two-way authentication, and air interface encryption, the eLTE-U solution guarantees stable and reliable data transmission. It uses compact all-in-one base stations, small enough to install on walls and poles, cutting the costs of trenching and cable layout. Rapid deployment of video surveillance networks to commercial streets, intersections, and squares guarantees non-stop all-round surveillance.

Diverse Mobile Broadband Police Applications 

e-LTE, with its open API interfaces, allows for interconnection with leading command platforms worldwide, facilitating the establishment of a comprehensive E2E video command solution. Multiple police applications installed on each trunking terminal can be connected to the central cloud database, increasing the efficiency of case management, identity recognition, and onsite enforcement. The standard eLTE mini PCIE wireless communication module is compatible with terminals produced by Huawei's industry partners, including the Aircam UAV, Hikvision inner-vehicle network camera, and Hikvision dome telecamera, meaning the solution allows for interactive mobile video surveillance. Fixed customer premise equipment (CPE) takes and transmits camera feeds. Together, they constitute all-inclusive surveillance camera networks for city administrators.

Peng Jianhua, President of Enterprise Wireless Business, Huawei, said, "Broadband trunking has been recognized by the industry as the right way to drive digitalization and informationization in policing and its applications are available and commercially deployed on a large scale. By the end of the first quarter of 2017, eLTE broadband trunking has been deployed in over 150 networks across 57 countries. At this event, Huawei officially releases the eLTE SafeCity solution with its partners. The solution meets both the B-TrunC and 3GPP standards, and supports long-term evolution, thus worth long-term investments."
