Using our leading 3GPP LTE and 5G technology and critical broadband capabilities, we deliver mission critical mobile communication solutions to service providers and other partners. This enables them to offer reliable, high-performance, secure connectivity to government and public safety agencies such as first responders.

These solutions represent the latest mission-critical mobile networks, and are designed to complement or replace existing national or regional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems, providing comprehensive voice, data and video services.

This technology evolution is also enabling a wider range of business models, delivering more cost-effective solutions – from dedicated LTE/5G networks to commercial mobile networks with specialist embedded mission-critical capabilities.

Mission critical connectivity for defense

As the digital transformation in the public sector continues, secure, resilient, and high-performance mobile broadband connectivity is enabling our partners and service providers to deliver a complete range of services.

With 5G being designated ‘critical national infrastructure’, the connectivity public services can benefit from will increase efficiency, speed of communication, and enhance operational performance.

Through our partners, system integrators and operators we are providing standard telecommunications equipment to the government and public sector including public safety, civil contingencies, peacekeeping and defense.

Together with Finnish operator, DNA, Ericsson demonstrated the use of LTE for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) in situations where continuous data communications must be guaranteed.

Defibrilators delivered via LTE-enabled drones in Canada

LTE-enabled delivery of life-saving equipment and emergency medical supplies via beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drones could see a 17-fold increase in the distance covered compared to current non-mobility-enabled alternatives. That’s just one finding from successful tests driven by health authorities in the Canadian province of Ontario, enabled by Ericsson LTE connectivity.
