Towards Resilient Mission Critical Broadband Data Communications for Public Protection and Disaster Relief
Authors: ,
Abstract: Mobile broadband applications can greatly improve the effectiveness of public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) operations, however, most PPDR actors do not have these capabilities. This design science research develops a multichannel solution for critical data broadband communications based on Distributed Systems intercommunication Protocol (DSiP) software, and evaluates it in an operational environment. We also propose resilience metrics for public safety communications (PSC) and analyze how our solution fulfils their objectives, and what should be developed further. Based on our findings, we have created additions to the knowledge base with regard to multichannel communications and PSC. However, much more research and development work is needed for making mission critical broadband data communications more resilient.
