1 Future ready: How can agencies invest wisely in public safety communications with so much change on the horizon? With constant change in today s communication technologies, how do agencies maximize the value of investments in public safety communications? This presentation will focus on the three pillars of tomorrow s communications solution: LMR, commercial cellular and public safety LTE. Mike Dougherty Senior Major Account Manager RF Communications Harris Public Safety & Professional Communications 1

2 Why Not Just LMR for Public Safety? Expanding Group Communications Was: Becoming: Voice + Automatic Vehicle Location Voice + Video + Contextual Data + Situational Awareness What s New Integrated Voice Services across: Narrowband, Commercial Cellular, and Public Safety Broadband Single talkgroup, common services, multiple modes Group Video Communications Streaming real-time video services to collections of users Talkgroup -> Video-group Portable Based Situational Awareness Moving from the Dispatch Center -> Vehicle -> Handheld APCO 2014 Session **** 2

4 Where is Public Safety today? In most cases, public safety today has: Operational reliance on mission-critical LMR voice services Call volume Trunking LMR Voice Time 4

5 Where is Public Safety today? In most cases, public safety today has: Operational reliance on mission-critical LMR voice services Augmented with: Mobile data, moving from private to commercial cellular data services Call volume Cellular Data Trunking Mobile Data LMR Voice Time 5

6 Where is Public Safety today? In most cases, public safety today has: Operational reliance on mission-critical LMR voice services Augmented with: Mobile data, moving from private to commercial cellular data services Back channel cellular telephony and text messaging Call volume Cellular Data Trunking Mobile Data LMR Voice Time 6

7 The Forecast for Tomorrow? LMR Voice will continue to be relevant for Mission Critical Communications Increasing reliance on data for routine communications Mobile CAD -> NG Widespread deployment of broadband-based Group Communication Services will reduce LMR traffic Broadband Voice Call volume Cellular Data Trunking Time Mobile Data LMR Voice Broadband Group Comm Srvcs 7

8 The Forecast for Tomorrow? LMR Voice will continue to be relevant for Mission Critical Communications Increasing reliance on data for routine communications Mobile CAD -> NG Widespread deployment of broadband-based Group Communication Services will reduce LMR traffic LMR Commercial Cellular Public Safety LTE Public Safety communications will rely on all three pillars 8

9 Why Not a Single Solution? LMR provides nearly ubiquitous coverage across the US Commercial Cellular cost effectively covers nearly the entire population of the US Public Safety LTE will provide capacity, priority and access controls for emergency responses LMR Commercial Cellular Public Safety LTE Public Safety communications will rely on all three pillars 9

10 Bridging All Three Solutions Group Communication Services: PTT Voice Group Text Messaging Situational Awareness One-to-Many Video Broadcast Video, Push-to-Video, NG video streaming Narrowband Data Mission Critical Broadband Data Mission Critical Voice LMR Commercial Cellular Public Safety LTE Group Communication Services allow Network Convergence 10
