Nokia Networks partners with Harris Corporation to launch a rapidly deployable 4G LTE public safety solution, giving first responders 4G/LTE coverage and capacity in one hour or less and allowing faster distribution of data and videos.
Nokia Networks said that the new public safety ‘solution on wheels’ enables network restoration and remote temporary coverage which is crucial in disaster or rural areas where coverage is not present or has been compromised, and extended network coverage during special public events.
The combined solution will enable operators to deliver entirely new types of real-time services from emergency situations or special public events, including incident video feeds and critical information such as building diagrams delivered to nearby subscribers as local content.
“Broadband service is increasingly important for public safety, and the Nokia Networks/Harris LTE deployable solution extends land mobile radio public safety network services to anywhere broadband connectivity exists. Together with our powerful BeOn application, we are realizing LMR and LTE convergence, providing first responder critical services as push-to-talk voice, situational awareness and streaming video over LTE anytime and anywhere.”
- Dennis Martinez, CTO, Harris RF Communications
“The collaboration on the new LTE deployable solution builds upon Nokia Networks’ market leading LTE technology and Harris’ proven leadership in integrating LTE and land mobile radio systems. By leveraging our Flexi Multiradio Base Station family and Harris' BeOn® group communications suite, we are providing first responders a best-in-class commercial solution that ensures delivery of real-time data and video when most needed.”
- Bob Fennelly, Head of Government and Public Safety, Nokia Networks
