New spectrum paves the way for first responders
to use LTE to vastly improve public protection and disaster relief
efforts
17 April, 2019
Prague, Czech Republic - Nokia
and Nordic Telecom have launched the world's first Mission Critical
Communication (MCC)-ready LTE network in the recently opened up
410-430 MHz band. As a result of Nokia's advanced and future-proof
mobile broadband solution, the Czech operator Nordic Telecom will
be able to jumpstart public protection and disaster relief efforts
with innovative services only possible on mobile broadband
networks.
LTE-based critical communications that enables
real-time video and data services is the biggest need of disaster
relief responders around the world. On top of the mission critical
requirements, high security, high datarate and low latency, the
public safety community also requires wide area coverage, which is
best supported by low frequency bands.
With the recently opened 410-430 MHz band that can
now serve as a dedicated spectrum for MCC/PPDR and Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions in Europe, accelerated LTE adoption for
critical communications and mobile broadband applications is around
the corner.
Jan Cornej, Investment Manager,
Nordic Telecom said, "As a pioneer in this space, we are
looking forward to proving to the market that modern and new
generation MCC services can be provided on an LTE network. We are
very happy to announce our cooperation with Nokia who is providing
us with a completely secure and future-proof solution, dedicated
local team, technical advisory and professional services."
Ales Vozenilek, country head for
Czech Republic at Nokia said, "The superior capacity and
throughput performance of LTE allows first responders to leverage
applications, like video, to be better informed and act faster.
Advanced prioritization mechanisms provide mission-critical grade
service availability and security. Our solution will now enable a
new segment of services on the market, opening a new cooperation in
the ecosystem of critical communication networks."
Nokia will deploy it's LTE radio network solution,
IP network technology, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex (DWDM)
technology and will install Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPPT)
application solutions like Group Communication.
