FirstNet is now operational across the United States, with public safety agencies embracing its high-speed mobile broadband data capabilities to improve emergency response and drive operational efficiencies. Arising from the ashes and anguish of 9/11, FirstNet enables life-saving situational awareness by boosting communications functionality used by emergency responders.’
LTE, as a digital data service, brings a different set of challenges than older land mobile radio (LMR)
technologies. Ensuring the broadest reach of an LTE cell site offering a FirstNet Band 14 signal is a tall order that demands excellent service from the cell site and the deployment of high-performance user equipment (UE) in the field. New approaches to boost the return signal from distant UEs offer an opportunity to extend the cell coverage area.
This paper reviews these innovations that can be applied to vehicle-based radio devices, from the new High Power UE (HPUE) technology to full integration of HPUE functionality into a combination of antenna with radio. By equipping fleets with mobile routers and LMR/LTE mobile radios supporting optimized HPUE technology tightly coupled with external antennas, public safety agencies create the best possible environment for successful emergency communications and field operations.
