There are two broad approaches public safety may adopt to improve interoperability for first responders. Agencies may choose to enable communication by deploying standards-based radios or interconnection solutions. This report discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and profiles a number of vendors offering interoperability solutions.
Scope
*Based on a panel of North American state and local public safety agencies
*Analysis of technology standards and network-based approaches to interoperability
*Includes profiles of leading vendors serving the public safety interoperability market
Highlights
The move towards interoperability among first responders is an evolutionary process and there is no quick fix. Just as agencies may adopt countless strategies to develop interoperability, there are a number of technology solutions public safety may implement to improve interoperability between first responders.
While some public safety agencies choose to deploy radios using an open standards-based infrastructure, others opt to bridge disparate equipment with interconnection or network-based solutions. This report evaluates each approach and profiles a number of vendors offering interoperability solutions.
