The future of public safety is to have data-rich, optimised and autonomous response to the extent possible. Narrowband mission-critical communication systems are reliable and in use for decades, but at the same time have limited bandwidth. This makes the transmission of large amounts of data difficult, thereby impacting the use of advanced applications and implementation of innovative use-cases. In contrast, broadband mission-critical communication networks provide a larger bandwidth, ensuring seamless and faster data transmission, facilitating ultra-reliable, low latency communication.
The importance of broadband mission-critical communications is clearly evident with most countries now embarking on initiatives ranging from strategy and design to on-ground implementation.
By studying the progression of countries in their broadband mission-critical communications programmes, the envisaged journey can be broken down into key phases, from strategy to implementation, highlighting bottlenecks in each phase. Key learnings from global country programmes and their navigation through these challenges, highlight some critical accelerators that can be beneficial for programme owners.
Key phases in the broadband chasm movement
Key learnings from global country programmes and their navigation through these challenges, highlight some critical accelerators that can be beneficial for programme owners.
In this paper we look at how owners of these nation-wide mission-critical communications programmes can identify their position, pre-empt potential challenges, plan their mitigation strategies and accelerate their journey towards mature and optimised broadband mission-critical communication systems. A special highlight is on the Middle East as a region, and what makes it primed for adoption of next-gen broadband mission-critical communications.
