Mobile Broadband and future of Public Safety Networks Summary
High Quality Public Safety voice and narrowband data networks in Europe
Growing Requirement for Public Safety mobile broadband and for spectrum
Considerable standards and development work required for LTE networks to
reach Public Safety functionality and service levels
The Public Safety network of the future will not be determined until LTE work
completed and available spectrum
