This report addresses technological and marketing aspects of two technologies that serve public safety communications. They are:
P25: this technology supports traditional voice communications and low-speed data. The report analyzes the phased development of this technology with radios supporting both conventional and trunking modes. Advantages of standards for public safety communications are emphasized. The report also addresses marketing aspects of the P25 radios; and analyzes the industry and applications.
4.9 GHz radio: the report assesses 4.9 GHz technologies and markets developments in the U.S. This market exclusively serves one client - public safety communities, and it was created by the government to enhance broadband communications between various levels of first responders.
The technology serves first responders by supporting broadband communications to transmit video, high-speed data and voice. The allocation of 4.9 GHz band offers public safety agencies an opportunity to deploy advanced services unavailable in other bands, such as permanent “hot spot” devices in high-use areas or temporary incident command centers erected at an incident scene. Particular technologies could include wireless personal area networks, hot spot networks, and wireless vehicular area networks. These devices would facilitate creation of ad-hoc wireless networks around a person or vehicle, personal telematics, voice, data, video, image, or biometric transmissions, and immediate, high-speed access to information.
This report assesses:
- The process of 4.9 GHz radio development
- Applications
- Technological specifics of communications channels based on the 4.9 GHz transmission; in particular-
- a) Multi-radio platforms
- b) Utilization of OFDM
- c) Mesh topology.
- 4.9 GHz radio market
- 4.9 GHz industry and major vendors, including their portfolios.
P25 and 4.9 GHz radios cover different segments of first responders networking; together they allow reliable and efficient communications to support homeland security as well as to allow coordination during critical events such as flood, fire and other.
