To achieve true interoperability, the 4G technology LTE is recommended to be the only mandated wireless technology for 700 MHz public safety networks in the US. A single licensed operator (FirstNet), a single frequency band (700 MHz Band 14) and a common LTE technology are to operate the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) a private network. It is inevitable that LMR and LTE technologies will have to co-exist for some time in the future due to a) the large investments on LMRs and b) while LMR has a national footprint, the LTE national roll out by FirstNet will take years to accomplish. MITRE, in association with DHS and support from AFCEA International is hosting a LTE/LMR Convergence Workshop to address the technical challenges. http://ottawa.afceachapter.org/?q=node/32#overlay=?q=node%2F32%2Fedit AFCEA PD Luncheon - 11/04/2014 - Army Officers Mess, Ottawa, ON http://ottawa.afceachapter.org/?q=node/32#overlay=?q=node%2F32%2Fedit LGen Charles Bouchard (Ret d) will speak on the evolution of aerial combat and relating lessons learned through his recent command in Libya.
