Our expertise in current and emerging technologies is highly sought after by clients that require secure, reliable and resilient communications capability, including:

• Public safety Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems and user equipment/devices (e.g. P25 digital radio, PTT)

• Hybrid/blended technology platforms (e.g. LMR/cellular/satellite) and Vehicle as a Node (VaaN) solutions

• Multi-channel emergency warning/alerting systems (e.g. voice, SMS, cell broadcast)

• Integrated communications /operations centre solutions (e.g. telephony, radio, consoles and voice logging)

• Cellular network technologies (e.g. 4G/LTE/5G, 3GPP Mission Critical Services/MCX)

• Satellite-based communications (e.g. satellite PTT, direct-to-device/NTN)

• Personnel safety technologies (e.g. duress, lone worker)

• Paging/alerting systems (POCSAG, Flex)

Modern critical communications solutions often comprise a range of interconnected subsystems, including external customer systems (e.g. dispatch, mapping platforms).

We have assisted our clients with a range of complex system integration projects where the ability for systems to seamlessly exchange data is critical to operations, including:

• Integration of Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) platforms with LMR systems

• Integration of PTToC / Broadband PTT platforms with LMR

• Call-taking and dispatch environments (e.g. radio, telephony, logging)

• VaaN solution integration (LMR/cellular/satellite)

• Multi-MNO cellular based emergency alert systems

Our geospatial analysis capability supports organisations in their planning and ongoing operation of critical communications systems, including:

• Assistance in planning and implementation of critical communications solutions (e.g. coverage requirements definition, as-built network coverage analysis/testing)

• Assessing the impacts of network changes on the availability of coverage services to users

• Network coverage prediction analysis

We have undertaken a range of data analysis assignments on behalf of our clients, focusing primarily on extracting the hidden value in data produced by a range of critical communications systems.

Our data analysis services have been highly successful in assisting our clients make sound business decisions. For example, allowing them to target investment in their technology platforms using an evidence-based approach to ensure it is needed and is operationally justified.

Examples include:

• System capacity analysis (e.g. network/site loading, user experience)

• Independent SLA/KPI analysis
