First Responder Communications
Examine the challenges as Public Safety moves from LMR to broadband solutions such as LTE/5G and Wi-Fi/CBRS, and the leveraging of of satellites, deployables, IoT devices, drones, cybersecurity and more.
Explore the capabilities needed within an emergency operations center (EOC) or other headquarters including hardware/software solutions, power management, interoperability and other strategies.
Understand the communications needs inside of buildings for Enterprise, Public Safety, and the public at-large across LMR, commercial cellular, and private networks, covering both voice- and location-based services.
Discover new advances in operational connectivity for terrestrial, rail, airborne and maritime mass-transit vehicles, such as computer-aided dispatch, voice/data communications, location-based services and “smart” and secure transportation solutions.
Discuss the ever-improving world of Utilities - from SCADA to IoT sensors and expanded “smart-grid” platforms that require robust two-way IP-based connectivity.
Delve into how state and local governments are turning to technology to “do more with less,” including IoT-fueled smart-community initiatives, video-surveillance and motion-detection systems, data storage, cloud/edge technology and analytics, and discuss funding, privacy and cybersecurity concerns.
Review its role in critical-infrastructure communications - across the country and beyond - as new technologies cross artificial boundaries and reach into space, as well as the policy questions surrounding spectrum, funding and implications of deploying within and beyond our borders.
