Telecom operators have three options to pursue jointly or individually to become mission critical LTE providers: an upgraded commercial network, a greenfield mission critical network, and a hybrid brownfield network. They are already at the center of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) commercial deployments and have developed all the necessary capabilities to operate this technology effectively. Telecom operators in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are well positioned to provide such networks and related services. Broadband is important because emergency and security systems increasingly provide real-time information that involves transmitting significant amounts of data in a reliable and uninterrupted manner. Such networks allow instant group communications with a high degree of reliability, availability, and security. Governments and enterprises need broadband communication networks, known as mission critical communications, for their public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) forces and for their critical national infrastructures (CNI). Or they use siloed legacy professional mobile radio (PMR) networks that are outdated, are not interoperable, and do not offer the necessary broadband capabilities for successful operational interventions.
They often rely on commercial networks, which are prone to crashing during such events. Governments are often not fully equipped to respond to such incidents. In recent years, there have been public safety and security incidents around the world, involving fatalities and damage to property and infrastructure, which could have been mitigated by a faster first response.
