Critical industries require critical broadband

It’s no longer a question of ‘if’ critical broadband services are needed, but rather ‘when’ and ‘how’

Critical broadband networks will enable and increase…

— safer and more efficient working environment

— higher revenues with less risk for employees

— situational awareness and operational efficiency to help protect property and save lives

— better control and higher accuracy using less personnel

— faster and better handling of goods 24/7

— real-time sensors and information sharing

— safer trains with more efficient maintenance

Network availability High availability required as life or business is dependent on the network performance

To enable cost efficiency without compromising control

Extending network coverage and capacity for mission critical users beyond what is typically available for commercial users

Providing multi-layer security, and catering for operational and regulatory restrictions Control of application priority to

guarantee latency and capacity requirements

QoS, priority & preemption

— Resource allocation according to priority enabling a differentiated Mobile Broadband offering

— Service based mobility to improve performance

— Support for 3GPP mission critical services

— Support for optimized VoLTE and MCPTT performance

— Support for dynamic QoS and local control of priority
