(IEEE Press Series on Networks and Service Management) 1st Edition
by Mehmet Ulema (Author)
A timely overview of a complete
spectrum of technologies specifically designed for public safety
communications as well as their deployment as management
In
our increasingly disaster-prone world, the need to upgrade and better
coordinate our public safety networks combined with successful
communications is more critical than ever. Fundamentals of Public Safety Networks and Critical Communications Systems fills
a gap in the literature by providing a book that reviews a
comprehensive set of technologies, from most popular to the most
advanced communications technologies that can be applied to public
safety networks and mission-critical communications systems. The book
explores the technical and economic feasibility, design, application,
and sustainable operation management of these vital networks and
systems.
Written by a noted expert in the field, the book
provides extensive coverage of systems, services, end-user devices, and
applications of public-safety services and technologies. The author
explores the potential for advanced public safety systems, and this
comprehensive text covers all aspects of the public safety and critical
communications network field. This important book:
- Provides an introduction to and discussion of the common characteristics of our critical communications systems
- Presents
a review of narrowband technologies such as Project 25, TETRA, and DMR
as well as the broadband technologies such as the LTE technology
- Focuses on the emerging technologies that can be adopted to improve our vital communications systems
- Discusses deployment of such technologies, including economics and finance, planning and project management
- Provides, in detail, the issues and solutions related to the management of such communications networks
- Offers a complete list of standards documents
Written for professionals in the industry, academics, and government and regulatory agencies, Fundamentals of Public Safety Networks and Critical Communications Systems
offers a review of the most significant safety technologies, explores
the application for advanced technologies, and examines the most current
research.
