Europe approves BroadWay plan
Public Safety Communications Europe (PSCE) has announced that the BroadWay Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project has been approved by the European Commission.
The PCP project aims to develop technologies that will enable a pan-European interoperable broadband mobile system for PPDR.
A group of 11 government organisations (‘buyers’) from 11 countries has been established, in association with 49 supporting public safety organisations.
The group will ensure that the solutions procured fit their needs and complement their national plans for transition to broadband for public safety.
The project is expected to be officially commenced in May. A first presentation will be given at the PSCE Conference in Brussels on 23–24 May 2018.
