LMR in a FirstNet World
We look at a number of hot questions on what role LMR has alongside FirstNet in the US and whether it can be the only source of voice communications in Public Safety. Although LMR networks are currently sufficient for some level of functionality, FirstNet could become a must-have in the long run. The article covers some crucial benefits of integrating FirstNet with LMR that may transform the world of critical communicaitons forever.

Mission Possible
Change is constant and this has never been more relevant to the world of communications. We asked Kevin Golding, Applications Manager at South Midlands Communications (SMC) in the UK about his perspective on recent trends in the mobile radio and critical comms community. He shares insight into expanded industry capabilities and current customer demands. With new applications that come into play, customers’ imagination is the only limit as anything is becoming possible.

Prospecting For New Solutions
While some industries are prospering, Mining is in an ongoing up-and-down cycle. Dr Jan Noordhof explains in detail why mining companies are facing challenges and how digital solutions can mitigate the increasing risks. As opposed to Oil, Gas and Utilities, there is no universal digital solution for Mining, however several enterprises have already launched pilot projects and anticipate positive results.
