Next-Generation Communications: What Does it Mean to You?

For quite a while, the public-safety community has been excited about the prospects of next generation communications technologies that will leverage broadband systems. On a high level, first responders understand that such communications will greatly improve their ability to serve and protect, and at the same time keep them safer.

This four part series will provide a ground-level view of next generation communications for public safety, as industry experts examine the specifics of where we are today, what will be possible in the future for first responders, PSAPs and our communities, and most importantly, what needs to occur to make the vision a reality.
