Drawing on lessons learned from the successful
OPSCAN project to point the way forward for
interoperability in public-safety and other sectors
By Shahid Ahmed and Rob Casselman.
One of the greatest tests for any
government is crafting an effective,
coordinated response to emergencies.
With lives often at stake, effective
emergency response requires multiple
government and non-government
agencies working together in
a coordinated, collaborative
environment. That makes achieving
interoperability between their
communication systems vital.
The variety of personnel and
communications equipment
involved makes a high performance
solution mandatory and yet, an
extremely difficult goal to achieve.
