400 MHz BROADBAND SPECTRUM FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

Alcatel-Lucent

Abstract:

In the challenging economic climate, governments are keen to look at mobile data services to improve their operations. When authorities’ daily operations start depending on data, mobile data communication net-works have to be mission critical – secure, reliable and always available.

Evolution to broadband is necessary for in-troducing new info-centric operations (that take advantage of digital information such as images and video, for example).

While current ETSI (European Telecommuni-cations Standards Institute) SRDoc (System Reference Document) for PPDR (Public Pro-tection and Disaster Relief) identified needs for 2x10 MHz of new spectrum for mobile broadband data, and the International Tele-communication Union (ITU) has started work towards its World Radiocommunication Con-ference 2015 (WRC-2015) PPDR agenda item 1.3, one should understand that these are long term goals set for the next 10-15 years. Even so, governments expect to have first implementations of secure mobile data services much sooner.
