Enhanced Command & Control (Augmenting C&C with AT&T s Enhanced Push-ToTalk)
Helping Solve Communication Challenges Even the Best LMR Systems Have Limitations: Limited Mobility/Coverage Fixed Channel Capacity Redundancy Lifecycle Maintenance/End of Life Security Interoperability Complexities and Expenses Migration Difficulties Operational Expenses Staff Competencies 7
Energy Market LMR Paradigm Shift LMR communications have historically been focused on a specific group of field personnel, Dedicated infrastructure has a recurring cost, adding subscribers or repeaters increases overhead, Device cost and system capacity have prohibited increased participation and access, LMR has it s boundaries, depending on geography, terrain, tower locations, etc. System expansion is complex, new towers, network connectivity, microwave, civil work, etc., New spectrum is ever more challenging, Devices serve a single function, in a multi-tasking world. But, every Utility will tell you the LMR system is there when we need it! 8
