Wireless - March - April 2014

In this issue

Public safety responders around the globe are looking to see what kind of communications systems might replace dedicated existing standards such as P25, TETRA and Tetrapol. We look at the USA’s FirstNet 4G network for first responders and examine the UK Government’s plan to switch to commercial mobile networks.

We also look at an ingenious method for combining spectrum from different mobile operators to enable video streaming for the UK police and check out some of the wearable tech in use with the emergency services. We discuss whether being able to access mobile networks and social media helps or hinders security services responding to terror incidents.

Smart metering comes under the spotlight following contract awards in the UK for a national roll out, while we also look out how M2M is being used in the water industry. Finally, we report from MWC 2014 with a look at developments in small cells and the Internet of Things.
