Why You Simply Cannot Afford To Miss Networked Public Safety, 2008

“The achievement of universal interoperability of communications, which crosses all agencies and links the armed forces and first responders, is of key importance for effective homeland security operations” (Jane’s Defence Weekly, January 03, 2007)

It started on 9/11. The Madrid bombings moved it forward. Then came 7/7… and now the more recent events of Glasgow Airport attack and attempted nightclub bombings have catapulted public safety to the top of everyone’s agendas.

How are you communicating with each other during a major incident? Are resources being wasted because you are unsure of where your responsibility ends and your partner agency’s begins? Or perhaps you have seamless communication within your organisation, but cross agency integration is just not viable without the right technology – and you don’t know what that is?

Civil protection is at the top of everyone’s agenda and it is fundamental to build a strong networked communication system to strengthen capabilities, and to maintain and enhance a secure and resilient nation – Networked Public Safety will provide you with the information you need to do this.

Delivering you four Keynote Speakers…
