WHITEPAPERS

Huawei partnered with IHS, a leading global analysis firm in the critical communications industry, to develop a whitepaper entitled “LTE in Public Safety”. Released at the 4th eLTE Industry Alliance Summit held on May 30 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the whitepaper outlines customer challenges in the public safety sector and private LTE network development trends, as well as recommendations for the deployment of LTE-based public safety networks.

This white paper by Rohde & Schwarz is aimed at pointing out vulnerabilities of LTE and LTE Advanced. An inside look into LTE technology can also be found. All relevant parts of the LTE communication system has been discussed including LTE downlink and uplink channels as well as control channels.

This white paper provides an analysis of standards development as well as benefits, limitations, opportunities and challenges of LTE for Critical Communications by Rohill

Without rigorous testing of the whole network—RF, access, and core—you cannot have confidence that it will work when it is most needed during emergencies when loading will be at its highest. This white paper discusses the Importance of Testing Long Term Evolution (LTE) in Public-Safety Networks.

The white paper developed by Nokia presents five proven business models to transition to LTE which are evaluated under several requirements and criteria such as budget, timing, coverage, number of users, services, availability, security, control, regulation, resources

Smart Public Safety Solutions (SPSS) have the potential to transform our emergency services. The ever-growing data sources have the ability to enable fast, accurate emergency response and crime prevention. It also provides new ways to keep workflows simple and intuitive while improving situational awareness which in turn has the ability to keep the officers and the public safe. According to Motorola Solutions 2016 will be the year when Smart Public Safety Solutions start to make a real change fo

This report was commissioned by the TETRA & Critical Communications Association (TCCA) and compares the relative merits of TETRA, LTE, and other broadband technologies for current and future critical communications markets. The TCCA is planning for the future of broadband1 critical communications services, in particular through enhancement of the 3GPP ‘Long Term Evolution’ (LTE) standards to support features fundamentally required by critical users.

The goals of The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) are challenging but achievable, according to a new whitepaper published today by Mutualink. “Addressing FirstNet Collaboration Challenges,” authored by Joe Boucher, Mutualink CTO and Dr. Mike Wengrovitz, Vice President of Innovation.

Publication by Andrew Seybold in June 2010. The editor of the publication believes that it is imperative that these new public safety broadband networks become part of an overall solution for public safety and not merely another standalone network.

Public safety operations are becoming increasingly information-driven, requiring access to a widening range of text, imaging and video applications. Although TETRA networks support secure and reliable low data rate services, throughput constraints limit their suitability for real-time video or high speed data applications. With recognition growing that operational data should be transported over mission critical networks, it is important to look at how a unified TETRA and Public Safety LTE netw

Supply vs Demand Report by Presidential-Partners - The intent of this effort was not to respond to every issue related to the impact on public safety communications centers by the Broadband network development, but to simply raise the awareness levels for public safety officials and application developers of the potential affect (both good and bad) this new broadband technology may have on our nation’s communications centers, as well as the individuals, who operate them.

This report extends the research originally undertaken to estimate the socioeconomic benefits for the use of enhanced mobile broadband by public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) agencies for the November 2013 report, Socioeconomic Value of Mission Critical Mobile Applications for Public Safety in the UK: 2x10MHz in 700MHz, into 10 European Countries.

Discussion Paper made for the TETRA + Critical Communication Association by WIK-Consult

EU member states, in cooperation with the Commission, are in preparation for the ITU World Radiocommunications Conference 2015 to identify a single spectrum environment for Broadband Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) services and to define conditions for taking the 700 MHz band to mobile use, including conditions for PPDR use of the band. TCCA recommends that a sufficient amount of 700 MHz frequency resources shall be made available for these mission critical communication services.

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

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.

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
