Motorola demonstrates LTE for public safety in Philadelphia

in News, Motorola, Public Safety, LTE

Motorola Solutions has demonstrated its LTE solutions for public safety at the Philadelphia Police Academy for representatives of the city of Philadelphia and the public safety community in the region. Demonstration included dynamic prioritization and intelligent mobile video streaming, all live over the air on devices operating in the Public Safety Spectrum Trust (PSST) band.


According to Motorola, when users travel beyond the coverage of the Motorola Public Safety LTE network, they will be able to leverage the Motorola-Verizon Wireless alliance. This alliance enables secure roaming and interoperability into the nationwide carrier networks from Verizon Wireless, which will provide ubiquitous coverage and connectivity to officers’ home departments and nationwide agencies.


"We have spoken to more than 200 customers around the country about the best way to bring next generation communications to public safety since we first demonstrated live LTE transmissions over 700MHz LTE public safety spectrum in 2008," said Rishi Bhaskar, MSSI vice president, Motorola Solutions.
