Building Out Next-Gen ESNs / PSNs
Government and public safety networks are built to the highest standards, so they can meet demanding performance targets – not just for emergency and Blue Light services, but also for challenging public sector requirements.
They are transforming to the latest generation of tech, which means you need to make every investment count while securing optimum performance.
5G for Public Safety
Enabling new mission-critical applications and services
PSNs are evolving towards dedicated 5G networks in many countries, building on the isolated LTE infrastructure that has delivered mobile broadband connectivity for Blue Light services and more. Getting rollout right matters – optimised coverage and access to fibre for backhaul and more.
Digital Transformation for PSNs
Consolidating legacy connectivity and systems
Transformation to the next generation also demands retiring and consolidating legacy platforms and systems – but this won’t happen overnight. Instead, transformation will require graceful migration and the integration of critical platforms into the evolved network infrastructure, while that evolves, and coverage is extended.
Emergency and Mass Communication
Disaster and early warning enabled by messaging
Many governments have mandated the delivery of public messaging systems to broadcast across all PLMNs for effective mass communication. These must comply with stringent regulations and governance so they can support this critical function, with the integration and reporting capabilities to align with existing systems and capture KPIs.
Effective Planning for PSNs
Building out the right coverage to deliver
PSNs may benefit from dedicated coverage and/or share key elements with existing PLMNs. Getting the mix right depends on clear understanding of coverage gaps, performance goals, existing infrastructure and planned new build. Accurate planning is essential for delivering the mission-critical performance required.
The new capabilities enabled by 5G bring new operational possibilities to PSNs – and stakeholders are eager to benefit from the enhanced communications possibilities afforded. Low latency, QoS-assured connectivity, new models for real-time interaction – all are expected to boost the effectiveness of Blue Light services.
PSNs must be able to support this range of capabilities, even as stakeholders operate in remote areas, which demands coverage that is optimised and can support a richer mix of services. Where dedicated coverage is deployed, this must be planned effectively – but shared coverage with network slicing overlaid to deliver the required performance is also a key consideration for the evolved network.
Assuring performance and getting that coverage right at a national level will be a huge challenge – and one right in the spotlight, because mission-critical doesn’t leave margin for error. That means you need the right tools to build out and maintain the coverage demanded by public sector and emergency service providers – and to effectively manage the transformation from legacy to the latest generation.
