Land Mobile Radio has formed the bedrock of mission critical communications for over 4 decades. We now live in a data-centric world, where merely voice is not sufficient to deliver the public safety mission. Rugged, purpose-built mission critical devices have been maturing over the last decade, resulting in a rich assortment of devices that enable the convergence of data-centric and voice-centric public safety missions. This session explores the variety of options in the marketplace, and how public safety agencies can put them to use.
