PUBLIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW

By TJ Kennedy, Co-Founder Public Safety Network

It’s been a tremendously exciting year for the development and implementation of new technologies leveraging public safety broadband capabilities.  In the course of our travels this year, we have seen tremendous progress in the use of broadband capabilities for mission critical communications across the globe, including in Australia, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom (UK), and of course, the United States (US).  We have seen increased issuance of RFI and RFPs, and greater focus than ever on deployment of new critical communications LTE networks.

The progress in the US has been nothing less than astounding.  I could not be prouder of the implementation and operational network in place with the FirstNet.gov team and the AT&T/FirstNet team (FirstNet.com).
