Nokia enhances mission-critical LTE public safety portfolio with launch of Nokia Group Communications
November 07 2016 - 3:14AM
Nokia is expanding its range of LTE-based public safety
solutions with the launch of the Nokia Group Communications
portfolio, which will enable first responder teams to securely
communicate through new applications such as instant video
connectivity alongside traditional push-to-talk features on a
single device, to enhance operations and safety.
Within the Nokia Group Communications portfolio, Nokia has
pre-integrated applications onto a range of devices to meet the
high-quality, high-security demands of public safety agencies
around the globe. Fast call set-up times will allow groups of field
workers and command controllers to share live video feeds with each
other to enhance their knowledge and ability to react in any
situation.
Compatibility with 3G and Wi-Fi® networks ensures high service
availability even if there is no LTE network coverage. Nokia Group
Communications can be used with the Nokia Compact Network, the
rapidly deployable solution which allows first responders to
quickly deploy a private network in emergency situations.
The Nokia Group Communications portfolio is fully aligned with
3GPP, ready for mission critical push-to-talk standards. This
ensures compatibility with future standards releases as well any
devices being made available on the market in the future, allowing
public safety operators to protect their investment. It also
ensures easy integration with any LTE network.

Thomas Lynch, Director for Security and Critical
Communications Research at I.H.S. Markit said: "LTE
provides new opportunities for the public safety market and as more
agencies leverage mobile network technologies Nokia, as a market
leader in LTE, is in a strong position to take advantage thanks to
its growing and extensive portfolio. With the company's latest
addition - the Nokia Group Communications - it is moving this
portfolio to another level, adding an end-to-end encryption layer
to deliver the high-level security demanded by public safety
markets around the world. And by being fully aligned with 3GPP
standards the portfolio allows a smooth evolution to MC-PTT
standards and can operate with any vendor's LTE network."
Henri Tallon, Head of Public Sector at Nokia,
said: "Nokia Group Communications further bolsters our
comprehensive public safety offer with capabilities that will help
first responders react more effectively in a crisis. With new
applications like push-to-video, fully standards-ready, we can
ensure public safety teams are better informed of a situation and
therefore enhance safety and security for all concerned."
