Overview
Offering transmission rates up to 3.1 Mb/s, the Alcatel-Lucent Broadband 700 MHz solution represents a quantum leap in first responder communication. It uses CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Revision A technology to supplement existing LMR (Land Mobile Radio) networks by supporting a wide range of advanced multimedia services, such as streaming video, multimedia messaging, web access and backup push- to-talk service. Access to high speed data allows first responders to have a virtual “desktop in the field” and enhance communications among first responders in the field and remote emergency response coordinators. This accurate, up-to-date information can help save lives and minimize additional risks to the public. Because CDMA is a standard- ized, widely available commercial technology, the solution leverages the economies of scale of existing 3G networks and allows full interop- erability between public safety broadband and commercial 3G wireless networks. As commercial CDMA networks evolve to 4G, the Alcatel- Lucent Broadband 700 MHz solution will be capable of implementing the same improved capabilities.
