On behalf of BDBOS President Andreas Gegenfurtner, Thomas Scholle, Head of Strategy and Control, opened the second day of the leading European trade fair for secure communication, PMRExpo, with a contribution about the future activities of BDBOS as the federal network operator.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum cryptography - just a few of the highlights with which Thomas Scholle outlined the future topics of the BDBOS in his opening lecture on day 2 of the PMRExpo. He formulated special challenges for the future of the federal networks with their steadily increasing usage figures and the enormously high requirements in the area of ​​cyber security and availability, among other things.

Scholle also talked about the development and testing of innovative hardware and software solutions for broadband mission-critical mobile networks as part of the BDBOS support program KoPa_45. According to Scholle, the project shows how the BDBOS opens up new channels for exchange with the market and research.

Of course, the lecture also informed about the development of the BOS broadband network, which is currently in the planning stage and is intended to supplement the TETRA-based digital BOS radio network in the medium term and replace it in the long term.

"The broadband network will enable police and non-police BOS to have future-proof, highly secure and highly available broadband data communication," says the head of the strategy and control department.


For this purpose - as Scholle clearly emphasized in his presentation - the authorities and organizations with security tasks must be provided with a sufficiently large and appropriate frequency spectrum in the UHF band. He made it clear here: "Frequencies save lives!"
