Overview
2 Alcatel-Lucent Broadband 700 MHz Solution for Public Safety
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.
