For public safety, it’s essential to have reliable P25 voice services alongside real-time, media-rich data. But do you know what needs to be implemented before this can be rolled out in your agency?
This webcast will cover the integration of Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband technology with two-way, P25 land mobile radio technology to offer reliable, mission-critical voice services alongside real-time, media-rich data in the 700 MHz band. It will address:
- Bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming video, high-definition imagery and high-speed, anytime/anywhere access to the Internet and internal databases
- Push-to-talk voice communications between LTE and P25 LMR networks without using proprietary gateways
- Enhanced situational awareness and improved response and inter-agency communications
If you’re unsure about how this is working in the real world (especially in the waiver regions) or need procurement advice, get ready to ask your questions of the experts. This is a live broadcast, and you’ll have great access to the experts for answers!
