Editorial Coverage: Communication platforms are ubiquitous, yet
first responders still have difficulty communicating in
emergencies.
To meet the vital communication needs of first responders,
Siyata Mobile Inc. (TSX.V: SIM) (OTCQX: SYATF) (SYATF
Profile) leveraged its strong commercial experience in
mission-critical communications systems and launched its FirstNet Ready Uniden® UV350, the
first-to-market, in-vehicle device of its kind. FirstNet is being
built in a public-private partnership with AT&T Inc.
(NYSE: T) and the First Responder Network Authority, an
independent authority within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
FirstNet is continuously expanding coverage, capacity and
capability of the platform while first responders currently on the
system receive fast, reliable broadband connectivity that
consistently outperforms other networks. Motorola Solutions
Inc. (NYSE: MSI) recently bought Kodiak Solutions, a
Push-To-Talk software that is FirstNet enabled. Also in recent
news, Sierra Wireless Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR)
introduced its AirLink MG90 High-Performance Multi-Network Vehicle
Router now certified and approved for use on FirstNet, and in April
Sonim Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SONM) released
the Sonim XP3, a rugged handset on the FirstNet communications
platform.
- Historically, first responders have struggled to communicate
between various departments in emergencies.
- Public-private partnership established to develop and operate a
dedicated public safety cellular network.
- Savvy tech companies deliver crucially important devices that
are FirstNet Ready.

The Birth of FirstNet
Nowhere were first responder communication challenges more
evident than in the aftermath of 9/11, which exposed deadly flaws
in rescue communications. Police radios gave clear warnings of the
imminent collapse of the second tower, transmitted 21 minutes
before the building fell. Yet most firefighters never heard those
warnings or other orders to get out, and far too many paid the
ultimate price.
The existing radio system frequently failed that morning. And
even if the radio network had been reliable, it wasn’t linked to
the police system. Throughout the horror, heroic efforts were
plagued by failures of communication, command and control. These
fatal flaws ultimately led to the formation of the First Responder
Network Authority (FirstNet) to ensure the construction, deployment
and operation of a nationwide broadband network that equips first
responders with the communication tools needed to save lives and
protect communities.
With more than 3.5 million first responder vehicles estimated in
the United States alone, an immense market exists for fast,
reliable and effective public safety communication. First
responders are hampered by not only the inability to link with
other agencies but also by the lack of bandwidth spectrum. Too
often agencies are forced to use publicly accessed frequencies,
creating cross talk and log jams.
To address this shortcoming, Band 14 spectrum was licensed by
FirstNet and dedicated to nationwide public safety. The dedicated
broadband network provides a separate communications channel for
first responders’ day-to-day operations, disaster response and
recovery, providing security for large events and operating 25%
faster than any commercial network. The FirstNet platform has grown
rapidly since its inception in 2012, with 7,250 public safety
agencies currently signed on and more than 600,000 device
connections currently in use.
Saving Lives — Protecting Property
But even with those big numbers, it’s still a far cry from
universal adoption.
With a rich background in telecommunications and specialization
in Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) systems for enterprise
customers, Siyata
Mobile Inc. (TSX.V: SIM) (OTCQX: SYATF) recognized
both the challenges and opportunity, employing its vast commercial
expertise in Push-to-Talk Over Cellular to develop and deliver
crucially important devices. As a result, Siyata just launched the Uniden UV350, the first-and-only
device specifically designated for in-vehicle communications that
has been tested and certified to operate on FirstNet.
The UV350 is built and designed to minimize the excessive
clutter often found in the cabin of fire trucks, ambulances and
police squad cars, by combining the functions of multiple devices
into one. Using PoC, drivers can communicate crystal-clear sound at
the touch of a button, and unlike traditional cellular
communication devices, the UV350 is powered by the vehicle battery,
ensuring drivers are always connected in emergency situations.
The state-of-the-art UV350 features include 4G/LTE high speed
data, a 5.5-inch widescreen LED display for easy monitoring, a
dedicated microphone and speaker for clear and loud sound quality,
and extended cellular and GPS coverage with an external antenna.
Utilizing Push-to-Talk Over Cellular ensures instant communication
at the push of a button. Prior to being certified and approved for
use on FirstNet, the UV350 was subjected to hundreds of rigorous
tests covering multiple aspects, from security and durability to
network impacts.
“FirstNet devices and modules go through extensive review, so
First Responders can be confident that Siyata’s UV350 meets the
highest standards for reliability, security and performance,” said
Bob Sloan, chief operating officer, FirstNet program at AT&T.
“The more tools public safety has access to on their network, the
more we can help them achieve their mission. We are happy to be the
first U.S. cellular carrier to launch Uniden’s NextGen Vehicle
Communicator — an innovative in-vehicle mounted phablet. We believe
it will be an excellent answer for both existing and newly
migrating FirstNet subscribers seeking an in-vehicle communication
device.”
Siyata Mobile CEO Marc Seelenfreund commented: “Drivers who are
operating vehicles, whether it is a first responder vehicle or a
commercial truck, need to feel safe while communicating important
information. The demand for a multi-functioning, in-vehicle device
remains strong, especially from those who are required to operate
vehicles in demanding situations. The UV350 allows drivers to keep
their eyes on the road, and hands on the wheel.”
Mobilizing its extensive technical expertise in the commercial
sector, Siyata created and delivered a much-needed, first-responder
product to the underserved public safety market. The public
reception of the UV350 has been remarkable thus far and could
easily lead to rapid uptake by first responders and significant
revenues for the company.
Clearing Clutter for Commercial Use
Vehicles
There are nearly 10 million commercial trucks in the United
States alone that could benefit by replacing antiquated two-way
technology with Push-to-Talk Over Cellular. PoC runs on Cellular
LTE networks providing nationwide and even global coverage.
Coverage, cost and convenience are compelling competitive drivers
of PoC over traditional two-way radio.
Like emergency vehicles, commercial vehicle cabins are
distracting, crammed with the clutter of various communication
devices from different vendors and burdened with multiple monthly
voice and data fees. With navigation systems, corporate phones,
fleet-management tools, land-mobile radios, black boxes and more
all taking up space, it’s little wonder that distracted driving has
become such a highway hazard. Siyata clears the clutter, simplifies
communications and enhances safety with its state-of-the-art
device.
A global developer and provider of Push-to-Talk Over Cellular
systems for enterprise customers, Siyata is a specialist in
creating high-quality, technologically advanced mobile
communication devices for global corporate workforces, fleets,
homes and buildings. The company markets its vast array of cellular
boosters, legacy devices and Push-to-Talk products under the Uniden
Cellular brand and has a customer base that includes cellular
operators, commercial vehicle technology distributors, and fleets
of all sizes throughout the United States, Canada, Europe,
Australia and the Middle East.
Siyata’s Uniden UV350 is the world’s first and only 4G/LTE
dedicated in-vehicle smartphone. Enabled with Push-to-Talk Over
Cellular, data applications, extended cellular range, noise
cancellation and multiple other useful functions, the UV350 is
specifically designed for commercial vehicles, ensuring safer and
more efficient communications for professional drivers. Already in
operation with Bell Canada, the Uniden UV350 has rapidly gained
commercial traction and has now received network approval from
AT&T and is soon launching with an additional U.S. Tier 1
operator, positioning Siyata to capture significant share in a
massive $13 billion North American market that has no direct
competitors in the foreseeable future.
Rapid uptake of the FirstNet platform is inevitable as public
safety organizations realize not just the efficacy and life-saving
importance of the system but also the significant potential cost
savings of the program. Technological developments and
communications proficiency are on the cusp of resolving the
critical communication needs of first responders, and the companies
that lead the way appear certain to be rewarded. Siyata is
definitely one to watch.
