The Rise of Broadband Solutions in 2020 and 2021

In the past year, we have seen a clear push from narrowband to broadband. In the coming months and 2021, narrowband solutions will continue to move more and more in the direction of broadband – this is already evident in the extremely increased demand for LTE-capable mobile devices with PTT and MCPTT functions. Some private broadband plus public broadband solutions will be mixed to replace the narrow band.

In some countries where LTE expansion is already well advanced, such as Spain, we are already at the start of larger project deals together with provider partners. In the next few months there will be huge changes worldwide. We are happy to support the use of the 450 MHz technology on band 31 on the hardware side. With our high-performance RG760 we are contributing to the future of mission-critical broadband communication. Our product development can respond very precisely to the wishes of the customers and reflects state-of-the-art – we have close contact to infrastructure providers and are member of different standardization committees.

Especially in the area of critical communications, the focus is on efficient teamwork – the broadband solution makes team communication much easier, even on a larger scale, secure and stable connections can be guaranteed, which unfortunately has not always been the case in the past. We hope that through various worldwide initiatives, such as the 450Mhz initiative, which we accompany since October, we will succeed in making communication, such as via band 31, more uniform, secure and faster. We are happy to contribute to the future of mission-critical broadband communication – together with our operator partners as well as solution and integration provider partners.
