The critical component of effective situational awareness and collaboration for military, intelligence and public safety organizations is 100 percent awareness of what is happening around where a mission is taking place. This helps organizations understand how information, events and actions will impact mission goals and objectives. In the past, placing collaboration applications in silos and utilizing proprietary solutions -- that were not interoperable or scalable -- hindered the ability to achieve this level of awareness. So while information flow may have been high, it could still lead to poor decisions with serious consequences.

Designed to address this challenge, Ericsson Federal provides standards-based collaboration solutions which can help government officials to make fast and accurate decisions in complex and dynamic environments. By shifting to IP, and a standardized core, Ericsson can assist agencies to more effectively share information in a secure environment and easily scale to add new applications and capabilities to meet current, as well as future mission requirements.
