When first responders are called to action, they need reliable communications to coordinate an effective public-safety response. Public-safety personnel understand this crucial correlation and have long sought an enhanced peer-to-peer communications capability within the cellular arena served by the 3GPP standards body. This capability is one of the primary requirements for migrating to broadband communications. 5G sidelink is designed to serve this need.
