Public safety backhaul

When emergencies arise or disaster strikes, every second counts. A faster response means a lower impact for everyone.

Our solutions enable public safety authorities to use smart broadband networks, IoT and analytics to improve situational awareness and detect and respond to incidents faster.

We provide solutions that help public safety authorities modernize emergency call and alert management infrastructures so they can predict and detect incidents faster and provide better information to first responders and citizens. Our portfolio includes:

IP-based ESInet infrastructure and next-generation emergency call routing that support multimedia and location information
An Integrated Operations Center solution that helps authorities use real-time analytics, decision automation and cross-agency cooperation to identify and resolve incidents faster
An end-to-end Public Warning System solution that enables authorities to send real-time, geo-targeted alerts to at-risk populations

We also offer solutions that help first responders act faster and more efficiently in emergency situations. These solutions include:

A deployable LTE/5G system that guarantees broadband communication services whenever and wherever they are needed
Drone Networks, a complete aerial insight solution that uses connected drones to enhance situational awareness
Group Communications, which brings mission-critical multimedia PTx communications to the frontline
