Increasing network demands.
Public safety’s critical communications rely on smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices to conduct effective response operations. You need connectivity that goes beyond the limited coverage and capacity you get with Land Mobile Radio (LMR).
Especially when the public is also placing high demand on the network, like a large event or natural disaster when networks can become congested. With network priority access and preemption, your team’s critical communications move to the front of the line—avoiding risky delays, which could impede your ability to respond.
How priority access and preemption works.
With network priority access and preemption, your voice, data, and messages get automatic prioritization over non-essential network traffic. And once you’re connected, you stay connected, even with severe congestion or poor radio coverage.
During times of major network congestion, non-priority users are preempted from the network to make room for your team’s traffic. And, in rare cases, non-priority users are dropped from the network, although that’s less common today with the robustness of our 5G network. When needed, the
