Mission Critical Communications – Towards 5G, Pre-commercial Procurement and the Integration of Satellite Communications

Mission-critical communications, primarily used by law enforcement, public safety and security agencies, such as police, fire, ambulance and the military, are essential for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) operators, protecting lives every single day and in every corner of the world. This position paper explores on-going standardisation work for PPDR by first looking at work towards globally harmonised standards through 3GPP SA6 on mission critical applications with enablers and a development toolkit for diverse vertical industries. We then go on to look at pre-commercial procurement for PPDR through the Horizon 2020 BroadWay project before zooming in on the role of satellite networks and their gradual integration in 5G.
