Panel: Coexistence of LTE, LMR for quite some time is a safe bet

According to Andrew Thiessen, requirements and standards lead for Public Safety Communications Research, once the LTE-based nationwide public-safety wireless broadband communications system is built, it will exist side by side with the sector’s LMR-based narrowband communications networks for at least a decade. Keep in mind that it likely will take at least a decade to build.
