Description

Research Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted. Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.

The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.

Target Audience
This report is important for the government agencies involved in the first response to critical situations. It is necessary for technical departments of such agencies to have a document, which in simple language explains radio technology and architectures of networks supporting public safety radios. They also need to understand the market landscape and who are the major players and their portfolios to select the right equipment.

This report analyzes the status of first responders’ communications technologies, and concentrates on the following subjects:

Satellites communications for pubic safety communications
Mesh networks and their role in public safety communications
Ultra Wideband communications for first responders
North America standard land-mobile radio for first responders-Project P25
Opening of the 700 MHz Band and its effect on public safety communications.

All these topics are united by their purpose - to serve first responders in their activity, supporting reliable interoperable communications.

The report also addresses marketing profiles of the above technologies in the public safety communications segment.
