Motorola Debuts Standards-based LTE Technology for Public Safety

Motorola has announced the commercial release of Motorola Public Safety LTE.  With devices, applications, networks and services, Motorola’s Public Safety LTE provides an end-to-end LTE solution built for public safety broadband.

Apart from providing features such as in-field reporting as well as push-to-talk and voice telephony, this Public Safety LTE solution will support a host of public safety applications such as Motorola’s PremierOne and other computer-aided dispatch (CAD), real-time video streaming, tactical collaboration, dynamic mapping and routing.

“Motorola Solutions set a course to focus our investments and development to rapidly deliver a Public Safety LTE solution that would address the needs of our public safety customers,” said Bob Schassler, senior vice president of Radio Solutions at Motorola Solutions. “We have reached and, in fact, surpassed that goal with Ericsson and Verizon Wireless by offering a standards-based solution that supports the applications our customers have identified as critical requirements. We will continue to serve public safety.”

This first release of Public Safety LTE will prioritize bandwidth on standards-based LTE depending on the responder’s agency, role and applications being used, as Motorola understands the importance of prioritizing network traffic in support of critical operations.

The Motorola and Ericsson strategic alliance enables LTE technology to be used in mission-critical communications. With field-proven stability, throughput, and latency – key factors for Public Safety workers, Ericsson provides LTE radio access and packet core networks, the company stated in a press release.

Recently, the company announced that the new Motorola XOOM Family edition will be available exclusively from Best Buy. The Family edition comes packed with all the necessary features to entertain everyone in the house with TV shows, thousands of movies and fun-filled educational games for kids of all ages.

According to the company, the Motorola XOOM Family Edition comes pre-loaded with almost $40 worth of applications and also features the Kid Mode by Zoodles.
