Land Mobile Radio Communications

Too often, public safety practitioners’ communications systems do not meet their needs for operability (security, service area, performance, and survivability for intra-agency communications) and interoperability (inter-discipline and inter-jurisdiction communications where and when communications are needed). In cooperation with other agencies, we are committed to addressing these operability and interoperability problems.

Standards Development for Public Safety Interoperability

A key step in achieving interoperability for public safety communications equipment is the standardization of the technical interfaces, protocols, measurement methods, and performance requirements for public safety communications equipment.
