We live in a fast moving world, where public safety agencies must address new threats and challenges — a world where it’s no longer enough for first responders to rely on a push-to-talk (PTT) network.

With LTE, public safety personnel can communicate, collaborate and interoperate, regardless of location or device. These improved capabilities provide better outcomes, faster and more precise critical decision-making and improved community safety.

In support of this critical need for improved broadband capabilities, the U.S. Congress and the Obama Administration took action in early 2012 to ensure improved interoperability for future public safety communications. A new law adopted in February 2012 includes changes to public safety broadband communications policy that will drive public safety needs for the next decade and beyond.

Public Safety LTE a How-to Guide – FirstNet Edition, produced by Alcatel-Lucent, takes a look at new capabilities for public safety, what LTE is, what it does and how state and local governments can prepare for the FirstNet LTE network.
