Bridging Land Mobile Radio and Long-Term Evolution

Public safety agencies increasingly rely on both land mobile radio (LMR) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) broadband networks to support mission-critical operations. The challenge is integrating these technologies in a way that extends communications across agencies, jurisdictions, networks, and devices while maintaining the reliability, security, and resilience public safety personnel require.

Join Mission Critical Partners (MCP) on Tuesday, October 20, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, for a practical, vendor-neutral discussion about how agencies can build an interoperability strategy that supports operational needs, protects existing investments, and prepares their communications environments for the future.

What You'll Learn

• The strengths, limitations, and operational roles of LMR and LTE, including why LTE complements but does not replace mission-critical LMR
• How LMR-to-LTE interoperability, push-to-talk over cellular, and broadband applications can extend communications across agencies, jurisdictions, networks, and devices
• How to address common interoperability challenges, including coverage gaps, incompatible technologies, governance barriers, and inconsistent operating procedures
• How redundancy, priority and preemption, backup communications, cybersecurity, identity management, and access controls contribute to a secure and resilient network
• How to assess operational requirements, evaluate solutions, and develop an integration roadmap that meets user needs and protects existing investments
