What are some of the challenges governments face in implementing mission-critical communications networks?
Efficiently addressing matters of public safety - from organised crime to natural disasters - demands highly coordinated multi-agency responses. Implementing a cohesive, mission-critical communications network is a complex undertaking for any government and even more so in countries like Brazil with expansive land mass and large populations.
Safety organisations in regions like this have historically faced significant challenges coordinating frontline teams during emergencies that span multiple jurisdictions. They need unified, scalable and secure solutions that connect different technologies and agencies, while maintaining the reliability that mission-critical communications demand.
How is Motorola Solutions working with the Brazilian government to address these challenges?
Motorola Solutions has been selected by the Brazilian government to implement a new federal mission-critical communications solution that will enable defence and public safety organisations to seamlessly collaborate during joint missions.
The solution will integrate multiple existing land mobile radio systems and add new mission-critical Push-to-X broadband services to enhance interagency interoperability and provide access to data applications that improve situational awareness and decision-making.
The WAVE PTX 3GPP standards-compliant communications platform will run on the government’s private 4G network alongside Critical Connect, a service that will enable interoperability between the 4G network and P25, TETRA and DMR LMR systems.
What impact will this new solution have on public safety operations across Brazil?
The new solution will make it possible for agencies to coherently share information, coordinate responses and ultimately make more informed decisions, for the better protection and service of Brazil’s communities. Agencies like the Brazilian Army, Federal Highway Patrol and Distrito Federal Military Police will have access to the trusted reliability and resiliency of LMR voice communications, enhanced with advanced broadband capabilities such as video streaming and rich data sharing.
Motorola Solutions is exhibiting at this year’s Critical Communications World on booth C30.
